Reading and Writing to EditText
What is the best way to read text from EditText into code and write some text from code to EditText?
Sorry I have not a TextView but an EditText
Hello to all
I am new to android, I want to write automatically from code to EditText and read in code from EditText
What is the best way to do this.
Java classes typically expose readable attributes using a method get*
and writeable attributes using a method set*
. In case a EditText
it is:
getText
and
setText
see here and here (they are inherited from TextView
)
Note: Scroll a little. You will see that they are defined several times. With different parameters. Choose the one you need.
A simple example. Suppose you have a TextView with id myTextField
:
EditText myText = (EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.myTextField);
// Setting the text:
myText.setText( "Hello World!" );
// "Reading" the text (printing it to stdout):
System.out.println( myText.getText() );
