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

By using getText():

Button   mButton; EditText mEdit;  /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);     setContentView(R.layout.main);      mButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);     mEdit   = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext);      mButton.setOnClickListener(         new View.OnClickListener()         {             public void onClick(View view)             {                 Log.v("EditText", mEdit.getText().toString());             }         }); }
