Webview loadurl from activity problem

Hello,

I've been trying to get an app working for a while now but it seems like i'm crashed..

My main activity creates 3 tabs that i want
addTab("Scan", R.drawable.tab_scan, scanActivity.class);
addTab("Search", R.drawable.tab_search, searchActivity.class);
addTab("View", R.drawable.tab_home, viewActivity.class);
So every tab has it's own class.

Now the scan tab scans a barcode and gives back a website link (String) and I want the View tab to display this website.

How do I get the string from the scanactivity to to the viewactivity?

I've tried sharedPreferences but that doesn't seem to work.
(It does when i place the save command above the create tab in the main activity)

It seems that after creating the tabs, i can't send strings to it.

Is there something I'm missing? could someone please help me?

George

Fixed,

Placed a String in the activity creating the tabs

and the tab creating the string has onPause writing to String
while the receiving tab has onResume get String
