Get Value of a Edit Text field

Question

I am learning how to create UI elements. I have created a few EditText input fields. On the click of a Button I want to capture the content typed into that input field.

Answer 1

Try this code

final EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.name); // your edittext id in xml
Button submit = findViewById(R.id.submit_button); // your button id in xml
submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) 
    {
        String string = editText.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, string, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});
