Android : Android Program (Adding items to ListView in another activity)

I am curious how I would go about adding an an editText variable to a list in another activity. I have created an arrayList that names are stored into as they are entered in the editText line. These are stored in the nameList variable in the class StartingActivity. How would i go about adding and showing these names into a ListView in another activity and class called ListActivity as shown. Thank you. Also, how do i refractor the names of classes and files without it just basically not making my program runable.

Code:

 Class StartingActivity:
 public void onClick_btnConfirm {
 EditText editName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editName);
 TextView textOutput = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textOutput);
 Intent intentList = new Intent(StartingActivity.this, ListActivity.class);

 if(editName.length()!=0) {
        nameList.add(editName.getText().toString());
        editName.setText("");
    }

    //intentList.putExtra("Name", editName.toString());

    startActivity(intentList);
}





Class ListActivity:
public class ListActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

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

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listAthletes);
    final StartingActivity nameList = new StartingActivity();
    nameList.getNameList();
    ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, nameList.getNameList());
    listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
    arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

}
