POAndroid programming define new variable using old?

copied!<p>How can I define a new variable with an old one in java in Android? I'm talking about the part of this code that has strings <code>to, message, subject</code> and then some placeholding names to the right of the equals sign. I need to know how to change the values such as <code>textSubject</code> etc to a relevant variable previously defined. When I outright replace them, it doesnt work for some reason. </p> <p>Also, I can't figure out why it won't take the onClick method right before that. Here is the code.</p> <pre><code>public class RefillActivity extends Activity { public String name; public String birthday; public String prescriptionOptions; public String notes; public String number; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.refill_activity_main); sendRefillRequest(); Button submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ButtonSendRefillRequest); submit.setOnClickListener(new View.onClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { String to = textTo.getText().toString(); String message = textMessage.getText().toString(); String subject = name.getText().toString(); Intent mEmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); mEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"test@example.com"}); mEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject); mEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message); // prompts to choose email client mEmail.setType("message/rfc822"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mEmail, "Choose an email client to send your feedback!")); } }); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.refill, menu); return true; } public void sendRefillRequest(){ final EditText nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextName); name = nameField.getText().toString(); final EditText birthdayField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextBirthday); birthday = birthdayField.getText().toString(); final EditText numberField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextPrescriptionNumber); number = numberField.getText().toString(); final Spinner prescriptionOptions = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.SpinnerPrescriptionOptions); this.prescriptionOptions = prescriptionOptions.getSelectedItem().toString(); final EditText notesField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextSpecialNotes); notes = notesField.getText().toString(); } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
