EditText in GridView get Data and into an array

Question

I want to display several edit texts in a grid view. `package com.devan.test1;

import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;


public class CustomGrid extends BaseAdapter {
private final String[] web;
View grid;
private Context mContext;

public CustomGrid(Context c, String[] web) {
    mContext = c;

    this.web = web;
}



@Override
public int getCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return web.length;
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    if (convertView == null) {

        grid = new View(mContext);
        grid = inflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_single, null);
        EditText textView = (EditText) grid.findViewById(R.id.grid_text);


    } else {
        grid = convertView;
    }

    return grid;
}
}`

The adapter which I made works but what I don't know is how to get data from several edit texts and store into an array.

Answer 1

A similar question was asked here. One answer suits your needs well.

What you would do is the following: You name your edit fields following a certain pattern like edittext[number] where [number] is between 0 and the number of edit texts minus 1. The answer suggests how to loop through all these fields. Using the getText function of the edit texts you can get the entered text and add it to an array / list.

Here's some code how you can achieve that:

String idPrefix = "edittext_";
final int NUMBER_OF_EDIT_TEXTS = 5; // You might want to retrieve this value from some array / list size
for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_EDIT_TEXTS; i++) {
  int resID = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier(idPrefix + i, "id", getPackageName());
  EditText edt = (EditText) grid.findViewById(resId);
  String text = edit.getText();
  // Do something with text
}
