How do I pass on the search string from one class to another?

How do I pass on the search string from one class to another?

I have a search View which is defined as follows in a class basesearch.java:
protected EditText mSearchView;
(It refers to the basic textbox search view).
Now in class searchfragment.java, I have the following method:
private void runSearch(final String searchTerm) {
if(searchTerm.contains(mSearchView.getText().toString().toLowerCase()
+ " " + mSearchView.getText().toString().toLowerCase())){
AWebViewFragment.newInstanceForSearch(getFragmentManager(), null,
null);
}else {
SearchResultsFragment.newInstance(getFragmentManager(),
searchTerm);
}
}
Note: mSearchView.getText().toString().toLowerCase() is getting the typed
in search value. Now, I want to use this value
"mSearchView.getText().toString().toLowerCase()" and pass it on to another
class which is being called "AWebViewFragment" in the first if clause. I
am defining the AwebViewfragment as follwos:
public static String OUTPUT_ENVIRONMENT =
"https://mobile13.cp.com/msf1.0/fwd/answers/service/v1/?q="+mSearchView.getText().toString().toLowerCase()+"%20revenue&ui.theme=novadark&uuid=PADACT-002&userAgent=iphone";
However it throws an error at mSearchView,unless I set some dummy value
defining it. I want it to be able to get information from previous class
for the typed in search term. I wonder what I am doing wrong. I want the
url to display with the dynamically typed search term. Is it possible to
do the same somehow? Feel free to modify the code and walk me thru a new
change, I will try any suggestions for new code or improvements. Any help
greatly appreciated. Thanks! Justin Also, I am already using the bundles
in Awebviewfragment:
private static AWebViewFragment __newInstance(final AnswersWebViewFragment
fragment, final FragmentManager manager,
final String searchTerm, final String symbolType, int
containerViewId, final int inAnimation, final int
outAnimation, final int popInAnimation, final int
popOutAnimation) {
final Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(SEARCH_TERM, searchTerm);
bundle.putString(AnswersWebViewFragment.SYMBOL_TYPE, symbolType);
bundle.putInt(AnswersWebViewFragment.CONTAINER_ID, containerViewId);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentInfo fragmentInfo = new
FragmentInfo(TransactionMethods.ADD, containerViewId);
fragmentInfo.setAnimation(inAnimation, outAnimation);
fragmentInfo.setPopAnimation(popInAnimation, popOutAnimation);
fragmentInfo.setFragmentTag(TAG_A_FRAGMENT_WEBVIEW);
fragmentInfo.setActionBarTitle(Application.getAppResources().getString(R.string.nav_option_quotes));
FragmentStackManager.getInstance().transitionFragment(manager,
fragment, fragmentInfo);
return fragment;
}
And OUTPUT_ENVIRONMENT is defined outside the method for bundle, how do i
retrieve the search term passed on from the previous class? and oncreate I
am using :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mSearchTerm = getArguments().getString(SEARCH_TERM);
}
