How To Set Text In An EditText

Question

How can I set the text of an EditText?

Answer 1

You need to:

1. Declare the EditText in the xml file
2. Find the EditText in the activity
3. Set the text in the EditText

Answer 2

String string="this is a text";
editText.setText(string)

I have found String to be a useful Indirect Subclass of CharSequence

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html find setText(CharSequence text)

Answer 3

Use +, the string concatenation operator:

 ed = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.box);
    int x = 10;
    ed.setText(""+x);

or use

String.valueOf(int):
ed.setText(String.valueOf(x));

or use

Integer.toString(int):
ed.setText(Integer.toString(x));

Answer 4

editTextObject.setText(CharSequence)

Answer 5

You can set android:text="your text";

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editTextName"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/intro_name"/>

Answer 6

This is the solution in Kotlin

val editText: EditText = findViewById(R.id.main_et_name)
    editText.setText("This is a text.")
