Android getText from EditText field

Question

I have a problem with getting text from EditText field to insert it in Email composer with intent. I've declared EditText field in layout file (@+id/vnosEmaila):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"> <TextView      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/navodiloEmail"     android:text="@string/navodiloEmail"     android:textSize="15dip"/> <EditText      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/vnosEmaila"     android:layout_below="@id/navodiloEmail"/> <TextView      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/navodiloZadeva"     android:text="@string/navodiloZadeva"     android:layout_below="@id/vnosEmaila"     android:textSize="15dip"/> <EditText      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/vnosZadeve"     android:layout_below="@id/navodiloZadeva"/> <TextView      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/navodiloBody"     android:text="@string/navodiloBody"     android:layout_below="@id/vnosZadeve"     android:textSize="15dip"/> <EditText      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/vnosBody"     android:layout_below="@id/navodiloBody"/> <Button      android:id="@+id/klicIntentEmail"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:text="@string/sestaviEmail"     android:onClick="sestaviEmail"     android:layout_below="@id/vnosBody"/> </RelativeLayout> 

The button calls onClick method "sestaviEmail" and I have declared it:

public void sestaviEmail (View view){     CharSequence test = getText(R.id.vnosEmaila);     Toast toast = Toast.makeText(EmailGumb.this, test, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);     toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);     toast.show();     } 

I'm just showing it with Toast because it's faster but everytime I try to get text from field I get "false". All other questions that I've found had code which declared Button in methods and not in layout, maybe this is a part of the problem?
