title: How to set textView.setText before Activity Launch
body: <p>In my App, when Options <strong>Menu -> About -> Here</strong> is pressed, I'm showing info with <code>DialogActivity</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
      switch (item.getItemId()) {
  TextView  textview  = OptionSelDialog.optionsTextView; //(static assigned and pulled in MainActivity)
         case R.id.action_about:
              textview.setText("This About Msg");
              startActivity(new Intent(this, OptionSelDialog.class));
              break;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here <code>OptionSelDialog</code> is separate <code>Activity</code>, not yet called from anywhere.
  I tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Calling <code>startActivity</code> of <code>OptionSelDialog</code> from <code>MainActivity.OnCreate</code></li>
  <li>Intilizing textview in <code>OptionSelDialog</code> construtor (I know this is wrong )</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Finally, Activity is crashing with <code>textView is NULL ;</code>
  One more thing, from second time app launch it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Please help with solution.</p>
