Basically I'm trying to get my EditText
with a button
"Ok" to display what was written to show up in a TextView
output.
Once the "Ok" button
is pressed it get the text what was entered in the EditText
and display in the TextView
.
Been searching around and can't find anything that works. Can anyone help?
Edit:
1) really appreciate the responds and help guys.
2) I think I"m asking this wrong.
What I'm trying to do is creating an option where the user can add their own Text into an activity.
Edit:
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get Value from EditText
editText.getText().toString();
Set value to TextView
in Button Click
textView.setText(editText.getText().toString());
Update:
implement Button Onclick(...)
like
Button negativeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ButtonID);
negativeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
textView.setText(editText.getText().toString());
}
});
Use in your Activity
in OnCreate()
Button _ok = (Button) findViewById(R.id.idofButton);
TextView result = (TextView ) findViewById(R.id.idofTextView);
EditText entrytext = (EditText ) findViewById(R.id.idofEditText);
_ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
result .setText(entrytext .getText().toString());
}
});
Let's suppose the EditText is named as et
, TextView is named as tv
and your Button is named a as bt
..
Now declare your EditText, TextView and Button, below your class name like this:
public class EditToText extends Activity{
EditText et;
TextView tv;
Button bt;
------
------
}
Now in your onCreate
method and after setContentView
do as mentioned below :
------
------
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext); //EditText is defined as edittext in xml
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview); //TextView is defined as textview in xml
bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button); //Button is defined as button in xml
//When button is clicked
bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String txt = et.getText().toString(); //Get txt from et when button is clicked
tv.setText(txt); //Set text extracted from et in tv
}
});
}
------
------
Hope this Helps!
