Android - Cannot Make A Static Reference To The Non-static Field

The string title cannot be static because of the intent.. The string URL has to be static for the usage of it.. This means i get the error when i try to add a non-static string to

Solution 1:

If you really do need to keep your string static and final you could do

staticfinalStringURL="http://csddata.site11.com/dynamic.php?cat=%s";

Intenti= getIntent();
Stringtitle= i.getStringExtra("title");

StringfinalUrl= String.format(URL,title);

Solution 2:

This wont work because you will be getting value of title when the present activity is launched.

The String URL is static & final. Static variables are initialized only once , at the start of the execution . These variables will be initialized first, before the initialization of any instance variables. Declaring the field as 'final' will ensure that the field is a constant and cannot change.

Intenti= getIntent();
Stringtitle= i.getStringExtra("title");


StringURL="http://csddata.site11.com/dynamic.php?cat=" + title;

Your code must fine now!!
