After you have used setContentView(...) you need to reference your EditText and get the text such as...

EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text);
String theText = et.getText().toString();

To pass it to another Activity you use an Intent. Example...

Intent i = new Intent(this, MyNewActivity.class);
i.putExtra("text_label", theText);
startActivity(i);

In the new Activity (in onCreate()), you get the Intent and retrieve the String...

public class MyNewActivity extends Activity {

    String uriString;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(...) {

        ...

        Intent i = getIntent();
        uriString = i.getStringExtra("text_label");

    }
}
