Android App - Radio Buttons, TextView, and Layout Options

I'm creating my first android app. It seems fairly simple. But I'm a total noob with Java and Android (I'm more familiar with C, C++ and the like). I'm sorry if this is the dumbest question ever. Anyway, I followed the steps on the android dev website.The app is supposed to have the person enter their Name and click on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift radio buttons and when they click on Downtime Button, they'll be brought to another page (activity) that displays their name and the shift they picked and then displays another textbox and a time input.So far, I got the MainActivity.java done like this:\[code\]package com.cyapps.downtime;import android.app.Activity;import android.content.Intent;import android.os.Bundle;import android.view.Menu;import android.view.View;import android.widget.EditText;public class MainActivity extends Activity { public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.cyapps.downtime.MESSAGE"; public void clickedButton1(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent(this, WinderDTActivity.class); EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message); String message = editText.getText().toString(); intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message); startActivity(intent); } public void clickedButton2(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent(this, ClamperDTActivity.class); EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message); String message = editText.getText().toString(); intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message); startActivity(intent); } public void clickedButton3(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent(this, OtherDTActivity.class); EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message); String message = editText.getText().toString(); intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message); startActivity(intent); } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; }}\[/code\]and the activity_main.xml like this:\[code\]<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal" > <EditText android:id="@+id/edit_message" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="41dp" android:ems="10" android:hint="@string/edit_message" /> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/radioButton1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/edit_message" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="26dp" android:text="@string/radio_button1" /> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/radioButton2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/radioButton1" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/radio_button2" /> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/radioButton3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/radioButton2" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/radio_button3" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_above="@+id/button2" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/button_send1" android:onClick="clickedButton1" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_above="@+id/button3" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/button_send2" android:onClick="clickedButton2" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginBottom="40dp" android:text="@string/button_send3" android:onClick="clickedButton3" /></RelativeLayout>\[/code\]I now have another activity that shows up when you finish entering in your name and clicking on a shift. This page is supposed to show your name and the shift number and have a textbox to write some other stuff in it and a time input and a submit button. I know how to do buttons and I see the time input on the interface of Eclipse. But I don't understand how to make the radio buttons be able to be "submitted" and shown on the page and how to edit the activity to show certain stuff. I'm confused.This is how the WinderDTActivity.java looks like:\[code\]package com.cyapps.downtime;import android.app.Activity;import android.content.Intent;import android.os.Bundle;import android.widget.TextView;public class WinderDTActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Get the message from the intent Intent intent = getIntent(); String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE); // Create the text view TextView textView = new TextView(this); textView.setTextSize(20); textView.setText(message); // Set the text view as the activity layout setContentView(textView); }}\[/code\]And this is what the activity_winder_dt.xml looks like:\[code\]<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > </RelativeLayout>\[/code\]Thank you so much in advance if you help me. You have no idea how grateful I'll be. I've been trying really hard to understand this, but I'm thoroughly confused on how to get xml and java working together. Please help!
