Also similiar to: Method to get all EditTexts in a View

I would first state that if you only need to cycle over the edit texts, you can add each of their view id's to an array list like :

ArrayList<EditText> list = new ArrayList<EditTexts>();
EditText edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.X);
list.add(edit);

Then loop over them to get the text you need, like:

for (EditText edit : list){
   String text = edit.getText().toString();
}

-Or if you need to use the table layout you defined then have you tried removing the ending findViewById on your last line?

TableLayout or = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.TableLayoutBells); 
EditText editTextBells = (EditText) or.getChildAt(i);
