EditText to String using Fragment

Question

Like we always use getText().toString(); to get String from EditText, So why i am facing problem, earlier i was using Activity and now just switched to Fragment, see Log:

 02-19 00:17:27.508: V/strDate..... >>>(1354): android.widget.EditText{b1ecd2c0 V.ED..CL ......I. 0,0-0,0 #7f080001 app:id/editTextToShowDate}

Fragment

@Override
   public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
     Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.android_frag, container, false);
        final EditText editTextDate = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editTextToShowDate);
        String strDate = editTextDate.getText().toString();
        Log.v("strDate..... >>>", strDate);
        return view;
 }

Is your editTextDate in your Fragment layout? is it null? It is null for sure as you are calling it right after creating it. Can you check this and also post more of the log cat? — Atul O Holic, Feb 19 '14 at 05:58

You need to get the text from editText on button click event

String strDate = editTextDate.getText().toString();

You should populate the following code into onStart() not onCreateView().

final EditText editTextDate = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.editTextToShowDate);
    String strDate = editTextDate.getText().toString();
