How to clear the text in edittext

Question

I want to clear the text in EditText after it has been saved in database.

Here is my code:

pictureDescription.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
{
  public void afterTextChanged(Editable textValue)
  {
    String content = textValue.toString();
    db.updatePicDes(content,lastSnapId);

  }
}

Answer 1

If using Kotlin, try:

editText.text.clear()

Extension Solution

Alternatively, you can add a small extension function to make it even simpler.

editText.clear()

fun EditText.clear() {
    text.clear()
}

Answer 2

Use editText.getText().clear().
