how get data from other activity?

this is explained in the activity starter documentation

however I do not know, if you will be able to do that...

Using the activity starter with two App Inventor Apps

App Inventor screens are activities, so you can use the Activity Starter to start other App Inventor apps.   The Hello Purr example at the top of this page shows how to do this. This is basically how App Inventor’s multiple screen apps work.  

To pass a startup text value to the App Inventor app you are starting with the Activity Starter, ise EXTRAS to set the KEY property to the string APP_INVENTOR_START and set the VALUE Property to the text you want to pass.  The other app can then retrieve this value with Get Start Plain Text.   To return a value from the other app, use Close Screen With Plain Text. 

 

For the case of two App Inventor apps, it’s simpler to design the combination as a single multiple screen app, rather than create two separate apps that communicate using the Activity Starter.   But one situation where you might want to have separate apps is where two people are loosely collaborating on a project and want to work separately.  Remember that in order to run the combined app, users must have both applications installed on their devices.

you will have to experiment... if you found a solution, let us now...

concerning the browser, probably this solution can help https://groups.google.com/forum/#!starred/mitappinventortest/I-SDOaMLeUc
