How to get data from each dynamically created EditText in Android?

Question

I have successfully created EditTexts depending on the user input in Android, and also I have assigned them unique ID\'s using setId() method.

Now wha

Answer 1

In every iteration you are rewriting the ed variable, so when loop is finished ed only points to the last EditText instance you created.

You should store all references to all EditTexts:

EditText ed;
List allEds = new ArrayList();

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {   

    ed = new EditText(Activity2.this);
    allEds.add(ed);
    ed.setBackgroundResource(R.color.blackOpacity);
    ed.setId(id);   
    ed.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    linear.addView(ed);
}

Now allEds list hold references to all EditTexts, so you can iterate it and get all the data.

Update:

As per request:

String[] strings = new String[](allEds.size());

for(int i=0; i < allEds.size(); i++){
    string[i] = allEds.get(i).getText().toString();
}
