How can I get the value from EditText in android?

Question

I'm having one EditText in android in which I want the user to enter the text I'll store the db. But, here I am not able to get the value from EditText.

Here is my code,

EditText etUserInfoNewValue = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUserInfoNewVal);    
String newValue = etUserInfoNewValue.getText().toString().trim();

How can I get the value from this EditText?

Answer 1

Put

String newValue = etUserInfoNewValue.getText().toString().trim(); 

Inside the button's onClicklistener().

You have put this code in onCreate() just after declaring it, it won't have any value at all. So you will get null value.
