Java – Java (android) How to use a variable of a method in another method

I’m retrieving the value of a TextView like this

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.calculation);
    TextView heading = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.paper_name);
    ......
}

I have another method in the same class

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {   
    int BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER = 4200;
    int COLOR_MULTIUPLIER = 6400;
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.btCalculate:
        int multiplier = rbColor.isChecked() ? COLOR_MULTIUPLIER : BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER;
        int column = Integer.parseInt((String) spColumn.getSelectedItem());
        int inch = Integer.parseInt((String) spInch.getSelectedItem());
        tvAmount.setText((multiplier * column * inch) + "");
        break;
    }
}

I want to set the values of COLOR_MULTIUPLIER and BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER based on the heading value obtained from the onCreate method. Is it possible?

Declare your TextView…. at the class level

TextView heading;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.calculation);

heading = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.paper_name);
        heading.setText("something");

......

Then access it in the onClick() method as shown below….

@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{   
     int BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER = 4200;
     int COLOR_MULTIUPLIER = 6400;
    switch (v.getId())
    {
        case R.id.btCalculate:

int multiplier = 0;

if (heading.getText().toString.equals("something")) {

multiplier = COLOR_MULTIUPLIER;

} else {

multiplier = BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER;

}

int multiplier = rbColor.isChecked() ? COLOR_MULTIUPLIER
                    : BLACK_AND_WHITE_MULTIUPLIER;
            int column = Integer.parseInt((String) spColumn
                    .getSelectedItem());
            int inch = Integer.parseInt((String) spInch.getSelectedItem());
            tvAmount.setText((multiplier * column * inch) + "");
            break;
    }
}
