How to get text from EditText?

Question

The question is quite simple. But I want to know where exactly do we make our references to the gui elements? As in which is the best place to define:

final          


        

Answer 1

Place the following after the setContentView() method.

final EditText edit =  (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Your_Edit_ID);
String emailString = (String) edit.getText().toString();
Log.d("email",emailString);
