The App gets crash giving the NullPointerException Error on clicking of the button.This gives value for first 11 rows.. after this it gets crashed as I think this is scrolled down view .

Button Click event which fails after 11 rows..

         EditText edit=(EditText)vListSortOrder. findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        String temp1223=edit.getText().toString();}

Answer 1

you must store contents of editext and other information to show in listview in a model, and create arraylist of that model. This help you maintaing the list item state on scroll and also to get proper content.

And on Button click get the content from arraylist of that model...

Answer 2

use vListSortOrder=list.getAdapter().getView(i, null, null);

in stead of vListSortOrder=list.getChildAt(i);
