Accessing variables inside onClickListener

Would anyone be kind enough to help me? I am making an android app that uses toggle buttons to collect user answers in the form of yes and no (on and off respectively). I have set up the following branch in the first buttons on click listener method:-

If the toggle is clicked, Use an already declared and initialised local variable to store a number (eg, 1) Else Use the already declared and initialised variable to store a different number (eg, 2)

Well. I realise I cannot use local variables in another method, however I want to collect the variables from all the toggle buttons so that I can calculate a user score somewhere else in the program. How would I do this?

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.ToggleButton;

public class NewActivity1 extends Activity{

public static int exportNumber1 = 0;
public static int exportNumber2 = 0;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.new_activity1);

    final TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView11);
    textView.setText("" + exportNumber1);

    final ToggleButton atb1 = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton1);
    atb1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

        int x = 0;

            if (atb1.isChecked())
            {
            x = 1;
            }
            else
            {
            x = 2;
            }
            exportNumber1 = x;
        }
    });}}

You should declare those variables globally (after your Activity/class declaration.)

This way you will be able to access the from any method you desire within that activity.

ex:

     public class MyActivity extends Activity {
          public int toggle1, toggle2, toggle3....   
//or String or whaterever, you can use these variables to store the values the user selects from within your OnClick listener
