Apps Acessing my WebView object from another class

[sega dude]

I am creating an Android version of my web browser. I want to be able to load websites from another class using the WebView object that is in my MainActivity class. Basically I want to load a website from a button referenced in the QuickSites class in the WebView object in the MainActivity class. How would I do this? Please give me example code if possible as I am new to Android development. Thanks!

I'm not a JAVA pro either. (I'm more towards C++)

I'd say it depends on how you create your QuickSites instance...
it'd be nice if you can show us your code.

most simple way,

class MainActivity {
    [B]public static[/B] WebView wv = null;
}

perhaps you can give the webview a static attribute?
then you can access it statically?

class QuickSites {
    button.onClick() {
        [B]MainActivity.wv[/B].doSomething();
    }
}

else, you will probably need a reference of MainActivity inside QuickSites.

just reminded,
or maybe you can do an Intent.
the Intent that's used to start up another Activity.

Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra([COLOR=blue]"act"[/COLOR], "openPage");
i.putExtra([COLOR=blue]"url"[/COLOR], [COLOR=blue]"http://web.com"[/COLOR]);

grab and use the data, then skip all the view creating and stuff.

Thank you! That worked great! It's a simple, yet effective way to go it. Thank you so much! Your help is greatly appreciated.
