convert a String into an Intent

Question

I have an intent of action type Intent.ACTION_SEND. I wrap this intent into another intent object like this:

Intent activityIntent = new Intent(cordova.getActivity(), ReceivePhotosActivity.class);
//imageIntent is an Intent object
activityIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, imageIntent);
this.cordova.startActivityForResult(this, activityIntent, 0);

On the ReceivePhotosActivity i parse the incoming intent and store my imageIntent into a string.

Intent receiveIntent = getIntent();
String imageIntent = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT);

Now i need this imageIntent in order to process Images. As a string I am unable to do so as I require the intent.getAction() and intent.getType(). So how can i convert my String imageIntent to an Intent object

Bitmap implements Parcelable, so you could always pass it in the intent:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("BitmapImage", bitmap);

and retrieve it on the other end:

Intent intent = getIntent();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("BitmapImage");

from How can I pass a Bitmap object from one activity to another
