Adding variable to String URL

Question

I modified my code like follows according to what i understood from a stack overflow question i found

private static final String url = "http://****/get_items.php?keyword=%1$s";
String searchKey = getIntent().getStringExtra("2");
        Final_url = String.format(url, searchKey);

when i print the Final_url like this

 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"url = "+ Final_url, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

the printed value is always

url = http://*****/get_items.php?keyword=null

Is There Something I'm Missing ?

ah thanks , i modified as you suggested and removed this line of code String searchKey = getIntent().getStringExtra("2"); and inserted my Value Directly into this line Final_url = String.format(url, "myValue");

And are you sure that the value is not null?

Try putting this String searchKey = "SampleValue";, just to discard the value from the intent is null

somehow using the intent, the value becomes null
