how to get current recipient without having to use getListView?

i have been following tutorial for Destructing message. I have created my own way to send string values rather than pictures and receive the string. When receiving, i have created an activity to read the message. Within this same activity i have created an Edit Text for replying purpose. The problem i have is, how do i get the current recipient ID/name without having to select their name from List View (like your tutorial) in order to reply back to current message ?
