Get Value of a Edit Text field

Question

I am learning how to create UI elements. I have created a few EditText input fields. On the click of a Button I want to capture the content typed into that input field.

<EditText android:id="@+id/name" android:width="220px" />

That's my field. How can I get the content?

Answer 1

A more advanced way would be to use butterknife bindview. This eliminates redundant code.

In your gradle under dependencies; add this 2 lines.

compile('com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.5.1') {
        exclude module: 'support-compat'
    }
apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.5.1'

Then sync up. Example binding edittext in MainActivity

import butterknife.BindView;   
import butterknife.ButterKnife; 

public class MainActivity {

@BindView(R.id.name) EditTextView mName; 
...

   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
         ButterKnife.bind(this); 
         ...
   }

}

But this is an alternative once you feel more comfortable or starting to work with lots of data.

Answer 2

I hope this one should work:

Integer.valueOf(mEdit.getText().toString());

I tried Integer.getInteger() method instead of valueOf() - it didn't work.

Answer 3

I guess you will have to use this code when calling the "mEdit" your EditText object :

myActivity.this.mEdit.getText().toString()

Just make sure that the compiler know which EditText to call and use.
