public class MainActivity extends Activity {
     EditText textIn;
     Button buttonAdd;
     LinearLayout container;
     private Button done;
     private TextView tv;
     @Override

             buttonAdd.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

              @Override
               public void onClick(View arg0) {
                LayoutInflater layoutInflater = 
                  (LayoutInflater) getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                final View addView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.row, null);

Simply I want to create a basic shopping app that have 20 products. the price and product name will come from server and quantity will input by user so how do I that?

Kindly explain, what exactly you want to achieve! I am having hard time understanding you question. if its only getting data from textView then String data = textView.getText().totring(); should work — Kevin Kaburu, Aug 06 '14 at 07:32

You are looking for something like this

int count = container.getChildCount(); 
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
   final View row = container.getChildAt(i);
   TextView textOut = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textout);
   String data = textOut.getText().toString();
}

Where container is your LinearLayout in which you have added your inflated rows.

Try this:-

To take user input from text box:-

int qty = Integer.parseInt(qtyTextBox.getText().toString());

Caluculate bill:-

double bill =  price*qty;

Send bill value to next activity:-

Intent in = new Intent();
in.putExtra("Bill", bill);
startActivity(in);

Get bill value in next activity:-

Intent in = getIntent();
int mBill = in.getExtra("Bill");
string bill = String.valueOf(mBill);

Now you can set the value of 'bill' to the TextView where you want to display it.
