Accessing intent extras in jmonkey engine appstates?

Question

I want to access variables passed via android intents in jMonkey app. I can access these variables using the typical intent variable reading code in the MainActivity

   @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Bundle parameters = getIntent().getExtras();
        System.out.println("hurr");
        if (parameters != null) {
            String name = parameters.getString("myextra");
            System.out.println(name);
            //Integer age = parameters.getInt("age");
        }
    }

However I want to access these variables in the jMonkey AppStates but I don't know how to pass references of the object holding these variables to jMonkey system. I can't access AppStateManager from the MainActivity and I can't access JmeAndroidSystem reference from the AppState using the JmeSystem object.

Is there a good way of this communication instead of hacking the AndroidHarness and JmeSystem code to make the JmeAndroidSystem visible.

JMonkey provides app variable instance in MainActivity as well.

You can use define a new AppState to store the context of Intent in OnCreate() method which can be accesses by app.getStateManager.getState(XYZ.class).

String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("url");
String uname = getIntent().getStringExtra("username");
String pass = getIntent().getStringExtra("password");
String amcatID = getIntent().getStringExtra("amcatID");
String moduleID = getIntent().getStringExtra("moduleID");

if (url!=null && uname!=null && pass!=null && amcatID!=null && moduleID!=null) {
    System.out.println("hurrhurr");
    System.out.println(url);
    System.out.println(uname);
    System.out.println(pass);
    System.out.println(amcatID);
    System.out.println(moduleID);
    app.getStateManager().attach(new SOAPCommunication(url,uname,pass,amcatID,moduleID));
}
