Pass widget input to DatabaseHelperSource file

Question

Disclaimer: I am a newbie to Android development :)

How can I pass the string values collected from this first class to the class below? I attempted this but only got null values.

Here's my main activity.

public class Register extends AppCompatActivity {

protected SnapToSellDataSource mDataSource;

public String sFullname;
public String sEmail;
public String sMobileNumber;
public String sPassword;

EditText full_name, email, mobile_number, pwd, copwd;
Button registerButton;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_register);

    mDataSource = new SnapToSellDataSource(Register.this);

    full_name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
    email = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
    mobile_number = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
    pwd = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText4);
    copwd = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText5);
    registerButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);

    registerButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Register register = new Register();

            String editPassword = pwd.getText().toString();
            String editConfirmPassword = copwd.getText().toString();

                if(editPassword.equals(editConfirmPassword)) {

                //This isn't overwriting the null class variables I 
                //instantiated so that I can pass them to the class below

                sFullname = full_name.getText().toString();
                sEmail = email.getText().toString();
                sMobileNumber = mobile_number.getText().toString();
                sPassword = pwd.getText().toString();

                mDataSource.insertUser(register);
                }
        }
    });
}
}

Here's the class that should receive the string values:

public class SnapToSellDataSource {

private SQLiteDatabase mDatabase;
private  SnapToSellHelper mHelper;
private Context mContext;

public SnapToSellDataSource(Context context){
    mContext = context;
    mHelper = new SnapToSellHelper(mContext);
}

public void insertUser(Register register){
    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(SnapToSellHelper.COL_NAME, register.sFullname);
    values.put(SnapToSellHelper.COL_EMAIL, register.sEmail);
    values.put(SnapToSellHelper.COL_NUMBER, register.sMobileNumber);
    values.put(SnapToSellHelper.COL_PASSWORD, register.sPassword);

    mDatabase.insert(SnapToSellHelper.TBL_USERS, null, values);
}
}
