How get the first letter of TextView in Android?

Question

I have not found documentation on how I can get the first letter of a value in a TextView?

Answer 1

Very easy,

String strTextview = textView.getText().toString();
strTextView = strTextView.substring(0,1);

Alternatively you can try following way too

char firstCharacter = textView.getText().toString().charAt(0);

Answer 2

To get the first letter you'll have to make this call:

char firstCharacter = myTextView.getText().charAt(0);

Answer 3

Use the method from below. Provide the string from TextView as the parameter.

public String firstStringer(String s) {
            String str= s.substring(0, Math.min(s.length(), 1));
            return str;
        }

Answer 4

You can use this

   TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
   String frstLetter = tv.getText().substring(0, 1);

Answer 5

it is simple. To retrieve the Text from the TextView you have to use getText().toString();

String textViewContent = textViewInstance.getText().toString();

and the first letter textViewContent.charAt(0)

Answer 6

To fetch the content of the string from TextView:

 String content = textView.getText().toString();

To fetch the first character

char first = content.charAt(0);

Answer 7

Try this

 String value = text.getText().toString();
 String firstTen = value.substring(0, 1);
