getIntent helper class

Issue

I am trying to setup an Intent helper class called "GetIntents". My problem is, how would I call my GetIntents helper class from an activity?

Here is my GetIntents helper class:

 public class GetIntents extends Intent {

public static Intent i;

public static String username = i.getExtras().getString("uid");
public static String password = i.getExtras().getString("pwd");
public static String firstName = i.getExtras().getString("firstName");
public static String lastName = i.getExtras().getString("lastName");
public static String lastLatitudeUpdate = i.getExtras().getString("lastLatitudeUpdate");

public static int checkedin = i.getExtras().getInt("checkedin");
public static int Minute = i.getExtras().getInt("Minute");
public static int Hour = i.getExtras().getInt("Hour");

}

Now im not sure how I would be able to call it from my activity. So far I have tried:

 GetIntents intent = new GetIntents();
 intent.getIntent();

I've also tried a couple other ways, but no luck. Any suggestions on what I could try?

Solution

Thank you everyone for your help. I have decided to go another route instead of using a helper class.

Intent i = getIntent();
username = i.getExtras().getString("uid");
password = i.getExtras().getString("pwd");
firstName = i.getExtras().getString("firstName");
lastName = i.getExtras().getString("lastName");
lastLatitudeUpdate = i.getExtras().getString("lastLatitudeUpdate");
checkedin = i.getExtras().getInt("checkedin");
Minute = i.getExtras().getInt("Minute");
Hour = i.getExtras().getInt("Hour");
