    btnSendSMS = (Button)findViewById(R.id.sms);
    btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            sendSMS(dispEd.getText().toString(),msgEd.getText().toString());
        }

        private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String msg) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
            sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, msg, null, null);
        }
    });
}

<EditText 
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:id="@+id/edit"/>

<EditText 
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Answer 1

you should try

editText.setText("");

Update: Try setting text as null

editText.setText(null);
