Final answer:

To retrieve String data from an Intent for a broadcast action, you should use the get String Extra method, which requires the key associated with the String data.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to obtain String data from an Intent for a broadcast action in Android programming, you can use the get String Extra(String name) method of the Intent class. This method retrieves a String value that was previously added with put Extra(String name, String value), or it returns null if no String value is associated with the name. An example of its usage is: String value = intent.get String Extra("KEY_FOR_STRING_DATA");

where "KEY_FOR_STRING_DATA" is the key you used when putting the extra into the Intent. This is a common operation when dealing with activities and services that need to receive data via Intents.
