Thread: Passing variable from one class to another

String user1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the first user's name"); 
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, user1 + " will go first! good luck!");

and in my other class i have

 
		public tuna(){
				super("title bar");
				setLayout(new FlowLayout());
				JPanel panel = new JPanel();
				JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
				q1 = new JLabel(user1);
				a1 = new JButton("A");
				a2 = new JButton("B");
				a3 = new JButton("C");
				a4 = new JButton("D");

I want whatever the user inputs as 'user1' to be printed in the q1 = new JLabel(user1);

how would i go about doing this?

Thanks

Pass the desired value to Tuna's constructor (class names should be capitalized).

public Tuna( String user1 ) { // the other stuff }

I'm not sure i follow :S how would I pass the desired value to Tuna's constructor from my other class :S

What would i type though?

public Tuna(String yourStringVariableHere){ //unnecessary identifier but just to make it obvious..
     q1 = new JLabel(yourStringVariableHere);
}

Passing the string variable passed to your class constructor (Tuna), to the constructor for the JLabel object you are initializing.
