How can I fix this code about sending intent?

I have this code for selecting a textView and copying to clipboard : 

txt=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
String stringYouExtracted = txt.getText().toString();
int startIndex = txt.getSelectionStart();
int endIndex = txt.getSelectionEnd();
stringYouExtracted = stringYouExtracted.substring(startIndex, endIndex);
ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipboard.setText(stringYouExtracted);

I want put a button that when I press it , sending text enables and runs , I have this code too :

btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
      Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
      sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
      sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, stringYouExtracted);
      sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
      startActivity(sendIntent);
   }
});

But this error appears from setOnClickListener (3rd line of setOnClickListener):

Cannot refer to a non-final variable stringYouExtracted inside an inner class defined in a different method

The SDK suggests me to add final before second line of first code. When I do this another error from 5th line of first code appears:

The final local variable stringYouExtracted cannot be assigned. It must be blank and not using a compound assignment

and suggests me to remove final from second line of first code that I have added it for solving previous error

What can I do?

Try this:

String value = txt.getText().toString();
int startIndex = txt.getSelectionStart();
int endIndex = txt.getSelectionEnd();
final String stringYouExtracted = value.substring(startIndex, endIndex);

Remove:

String stringYouExtracted = txt.getText().toString();

Change from 

stringYouExtracted = stringYouExtracted.substring(startIndex, endIndex);

to

final String stringYouExtracted = txt.getText().toString().substring(startIndex, endIndex);
