Basically this app is supposed to ask for your name, with an option to save, which when click, an alert dialog pops up and asks 'are you sure?', when yes is clicked, it should say 'welcome + whatever name put'. my problem is that the app keeps shutting down before it says welcome. I declared the string as userName and ran it without any function to the string, and it just said 'welcome, null'. but when i did userName=editText.getText().toString(); the app shut down immediately. Please HELP I'm out of ideas. the page which calls the welcome page works fine, but the welcome.java is the file with the issue.
public class Welcome extends Activity {
String userName;
final EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
final TextView textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.welcome);
final TextView textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
final EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
userName=editText.getText().toString();
textView.setText(String.format("Welcome, %s.", userName));
}
}
The logcat is basically the title, giving an error to the following line:
userName=editText.getText().toString();
PS I've moved that line of code before and after onCreate and it still gave errors
