I didn't get the second question, maybe you can elaborate...but for your first query.

String content = edtEditText.getText().toString(); //gets you the contents of edit text
tvTextView.setText(content); //displays it in a textview..

Answer 2

I'm just beginner to help you for getting edittext value to textview. Try out this code -

EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editext1);
TextView tview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
String result = edit.getText().toString();
tview.setText(result);

This will get the text which is in EditText Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

EditText ein=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);
TextView t=new TextView(this);
t.setText("Your Text is="+ein.getText());
setContentView(t);

            tv.setText(s1);
        }
    }
);

Answer 5

First get the text from edit text view

edittext.getText().toString()

and Store the obtained text in a string, say value.

value = edittext.getText().toString()

Then set value as the text for textview.

textview.setText(value)

    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        eiteText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.nameET);

        Log.d("TAG",result);
    }
});

Answer 7

Easiest way to get text from the user:

EditText Variable1 = findViewById(R.id.enter_name);
String Variable2 = Variable1.getText().toString();

Answer 8

in "String.xml" you can notice any String or value you want to use, here are two examples:

<string name="app_name">My Calculator App
    </string>
<color name="color_menu_home">#ffcccccc</color>

Used for the layout.xml: android:text="@string/app_name"

The advantage: you can use them as often you want, you only need to link them in your Layout-xml, and you can change the String-Content easily in the strings.xml, without searching in your source-code for the right position. Important for changing language, you only need to replace the strings.xml - file

Answer 9

Use the following code when clicked on the button :

 String value = edittext.getText().toString().trim(); //get text from editText 
 textView.setText(value); //setText in a textview

Hope to be useful to you.

Answer 10

Try this->

EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text_input);

Editable name = text.getText();

Editable is the return data type of getText() method it will handle both string and integer values

Answer 11

First get the value from edit text in a String variable

String value = edttxt.getText().toString();

Then set that value to textView

txtview.setText(value);

Where edttxt refers to edit text field in XML file and txtview refers to textfield in XML file to show the value

In ComposableUI, use mutablestate to read value from input boxes.

class FillFormActivity : ComponentActivity() {

var nameValue = mutableStateOf("")
var emailValue = mutableStateOf("")
var passwordValue = mutableStateOf("")

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContent {
        ComposableTestTheme {
            // A surface container using the 'background' color from the theme
            Surface(
                modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
                color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background
            ) {


                Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {

                    // add top bar
                    TopBarApp(context = baseContext, "Fill Form") {
                        // to do
                    }

                    Column(
                        modifier = Modifier
                            .fillMaxSize()
                            .fillMaxWidth(),
                        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
                    ) {
                        OutlinedTextField("Name", nameValue)
                        OutlinedTextField("Email", emailValue)
                        OutlinedTextFieldPassword("Password")
                        SubmitButton(text = "Submit") {
                            submitForm()
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


@Composable
fun OutlinedTextField(placeHolderText: String, valueHolder: MutableState<String>) {
    Spacer(modifier = Modifier.padding(10.dp))
    androidx.compose.material3.OutlinedTextField(
        value = valueHolder.value,
        onValueChange = { valueHolder.value = it },
        label = { Text(placeHolderText) }
    )
}


@Composable
fun OutlinedTextFieldPassword(placeHolderText: String) {
    Spacer(modifier = Modifier.padding(10.dp))
    androidx.compose.material3.OutlinedTextField(
        value = passwordValue.value,
        onValueChange = { passwordValue.value = it },
        label = { Text(placeHolderText) },
        visualTransformation = PasswordVisualTransformation(),
        keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(keyboardType = KeyboardType.Password)
    )
}


@Composable
fun SubmitButton(text: String, onClick: () -> Unit) {
    Spacer(modifier = Modifier.padding(10.dp))
    Button(
        onClick = onClick,
        colors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors(),
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(5.dp)
    )
    {
        Text(text = text, color = Color.White)
    }

}


private fun submitForm() {
    val msg = "Value : name : ${nameValue.value} \nemail : ${emailValue.value},\n Pass: ${passwordValue.value}"
    Toast.makeText(this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
        .show()
}

}

This code is working and here is output.

Happy codding.
