title: Getting and Setting variables from another activity
body: <p>I've got a class which contains a getter and setter for the variable "artist":</p>
  
  <p>Class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void setArtist(String artist) {
      this.artist = artist;
  }
  
  public String getArtist() {
      return artist;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to call setArtist from an activity like so:</p>
  
  <p>Activity 1:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Playlist.setArtist(someString)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But eclipse tells me I need to change setArtist to static. The whole point of me using setters was to avoid having any static references. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to accomplish this?</p>
