Pass TextView from onCreate to OptionsItemSelected - android-actionbar

Question

I'm trying to save to a database using the code below.
Logcat shows values as empty (client, email, address, balance).
It seems the TextViews are not being passed into the OnOptionsItemSelected method. Any idea of how I can pass the TextViews from OnCreate method to OnOptionsItemSelected?
public class NewClient extends Activity {
private ActionBar actionBar;
//private DatabaseHandler dbHelper;
static SimpleCursorAdapter dataAdapter;
private TextView client_name;
TextView client_code;
TextView email;
TextView addressline1;
TextView addressline2;
TextView balance;
ClientsFragment client = new ClientsFragment();
//String carried_code;
//String carried_name;
DatabaseHandler db;
static Cursor cursor;
private TextView ObtainAdd;
private String ObtainAdd1;
private String ObtainAdd2;
public static TextView textViewC;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.new_client);
db = new DatabaseHandler(this.getApplicationContext());
actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
// dbHelper.open();
// Get the layout inflater
client_code = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.code_field);
//set
//get the Text-view for
client_name = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.client_name_field);
email = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.invoice_email_add_field);
addressline1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.contact_info_field);
balance = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.balance_field);
//Generate ListView from SQLite Database
// displayListView();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.client_activity_actions, menu);
final View menuItemView = findViewById(R.id.action_save);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle presses on the action bar items
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_save:
openSave();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private void openSave() {
String Updated_Name = client_name.getText().toString();
// TextView prod_price = (TextView) newProd.findViewById(R.id.price_text);
String Updated_code = client_code.getText().toString();
String Updated_email = email.getText().toString();
String Updated_add1 = addressline1.getText().toString();
String Updated_add2 = "add2";// addressline2.getText().toString();
String Updated_balance = balance.getText().toString();
//get double value of code
//updating products
// product.setID(position);
client.setClientName(Updated_Name);
client.setCode(Updated_code);
client.setEmail(Updated_email);
client.setAddressl1(Updated_add1);
client.setAddressl2(Updated_add2);
client.setBalance(Updated_balance);
//update database
// db.updateProduct(product);
db.addClient(client);
// db.close();
// cursor.close();
//cursor = db.getAllProducts();
displayListView();
//dataAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.list_entry, cursor, columns, to, 0);
//dataAdapter.swapCursor(NewClient.cursor);
//startActivity(new_client_intent);
}
private void displayListView() {
cursor = db.getAllClients();
}
}

I fixed it by removing the Inflater for the textView out of the onCreate method. Now it works perfectly :-)
