Can't get values from Listview's EditText?

I'm trying to get data from EditText which is in my Listview. I saw a lot of similar questions & got a solution. But it throws an NPE in my Implementation.

So please guide me to fix this issue.

Adapter

public class Coscho_adapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context con;
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list;
    LayoutInflater mInflater;
    EditText marks;
    TextView studname, acname;

    public Coscho_adapter(Context co, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list1) {
        list = list1;
        con = co;
        mInflater = (LayoutInflater) con.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return list.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int arg0) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int arg0) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder holder;
        if(convertView==null){
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.sc_item,null,false);
            holder.marks = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.marks);
            holder.studname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.stu_name);
            holder.acname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.act_name);
            convertView.setTag(holder);
        }else{
            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        int sno = position + 1;
        holder.studname.setText(sno + ". " + list.get(position).get("DESCRIPTOR"));
        holder.acname.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        holder.marks.setText(list.get(position).get("STUDENT_MARK"), TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
        int maxLength = 1;
        holder.marks.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength), new InputFilterMinMax("0", "5")});
        desc_ids.add(list.get(position).get("DESCRIPTOR_ID"));

        return convertView;
    }

    class ViewHolder {
        EditText marks;
        TextView studname, acname;
    }
}

Onclick

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    if(item.getItemId()==R.id.add)
    {
       View v;
        ArrayList<String> scho = new ArrayList<String>();
        EditText et;
        if (co_adapter.getCount() != 0) {
        for (int i = 0; i < co_adapter.getCount(); i++) {
            v = mListView.getChildAt(i);
            et = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.marks);
            if (et != null) {
                scho.add(et.getText().toString());
                Log.e("SCH", et.getText().toString());
            }
        }
    }
   }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Screen

UPDATE using TextWatcher

Now i can store the value of the edittext in a Array. But when the listview is scrolled. The values are changed to the intial values.

 public class Coscho_adapter extends BaseAdapter {

            Context con;
            LayoutInflater mInflater;

            public Scholastic_adapter(Context context, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list1) {
                sadap_list = list1;
                con = context;
                mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
            }

            @Override
            public int getCount() {
                return sadap_list.size();
            }

            @Override
            public Object getItem(int position) {
                return null;
            }

            @Override
            public long getItemId(int position) {
                return position;
            }

            @Override
            public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                ViewHolder holder;
                if(convertView==null){
                    holder = new ViewHolder();
                    convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.sc_item,null,false);
                    holder.marks = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.marks);
                    holder.studname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.stu_name);
                    holder.acname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.act_name);
                    convertView.setTag(holder);
                }else{
                    holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
                }

                for (int i = 0; i < arrScMarks.length; i++) {
                    Log.e("Array > ", i +"> "+ arrScMarks[i]);
                }

                int sno = position + 1;
                holder.ref = position;
                holder.studname.setText(sno + ". " + sadap_list.get(holder.ref).get("FIRST_NAME"));
                holder.acname.setText(sadap_list.get(holder.ref).get("ACTIVITY_NAME"));
                holder.marks.setText(arrScMarks[holder.ref]);
                holder.marks.addTextChangedListener(new GenericTextWatcher(holder.ref));


                return convertView;
            }

            class ViewHolder {
                EditText marks;
                TextView studname, acname;
                int ref;
            }
        }

TextWatcher

private class GenericTextWatcher implements TextWatcher{

        int position;

        private GenericTextWatcher(int pos) {
              this.position = pos;
        }

        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {}
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {}

        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
            String text = editable.toString();
            arrScMarks[position] = text;
            Log.e("Watcher > ", position +"> "+ arrScMarks[position] );
            }
        }

The way I would try first would be to add a TextChangedListener to the holder.marks, or you could add a button to save new value entered into the EditText.

When the text changes, I'd change the values in the list. Without this you will lose the data user when the list is scrolled as this line:

        holder.marks.setText(list.get(position).get("STUDENT_MARK"), TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);

will re-write the studend mark that was originally in the list.

Edit: I'm putting the Adapter code I found in the link in case it becomes unavailable in the future.

private class MyListAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(arrText != null && arrText.length != 0){
            return arrText.length;    
        }
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return arrText[position];
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        //ViewHolder holder = null;
        final ViewHolder holder;
        if (convertView == null) {

            holder = new ViewHolder();
            LayoutInflater inflater = ListviewActivity.this.getLayoutInflater();
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.lyt_listview_list, null);
            holder.textView1 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
            holder.editText1 = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.editText1);    

            convertView.setTag(holder);

        } else {

            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        holder.ref = position;

        holder.textView1.setText(arrText[position]);
        holder.editText1.setText(arrTemp[position]);
        holder.editText1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
                    int arg3) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                arrTemp[holder.ref] = arg0.toString();
            }
        });

        return convertView;
    }

    private class ViewHolder {
        TextView textView1;
        EditText editText1;
        int ref;
    }


}

New Edit:

Remove your GenericTextWatcher and use this instead. When I used your TextWatcher implementation it didn't work, I changed it like this and this works for me.

holder.getEditText().addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
            String text = editable.toString();
            ARR[holder.getPosition()] = text;
            Log.e("Watcher > ", holder.getPosition()+"> "+ ARR[holder.getPosition()] );
        }
    });

You need to remove TextWatcher from edittext before you set text in it

if (holder.marks.getTag() != null) {
   GenericTextWatcher oldWatcher = (GenericTextWatcher) holder.marks.getTag();
   holder.marks.removeTextChangedListener(oldWatcher);
   holder.marks.setText(arrScMarks[holder.ref]);
}
//then set new textwatcher to edittext with current position 
GenericTextWatcher watcher;
watcher = new GenericTextWatcher(position);
holder.marks.addTextChangedListener(watcher);
holder.marks.setTag(watcher);

The reason you're getting a NPE is probably because your getItem is returning null.

@Override
  public Object getItem(int arg0) {
    return null;
}

You need to return the particular position in your Collection(Arraylist)

 @Override
public Object getItem(int arg0) {
    return list.get(arg0);
}
