I had the same problem myself. I'm not sure if you got it to work though, but what I had to was:

EditText cypherInput;
cypherInput = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.input_cipherValue);
int cypher = Integer.parseInt(cypherInput.getText().toString());

The third line of code caused the app to crash without using the .getText() before the .toString().

Just for reference, here is my XML:
