Assign ID to added EditText Android

Question

Hy, I wanna ask something about dynamic EditText that's added by button click.

I have another scanner Button to scan qr code, get the value and set the value in each EditText added. To set the text I sure need to know the id of each EditText. So how do I assign id to each EditText or there's another way to work around with it.

Inside my add-button onclick

public void addView(View view){

    LinearLayout li = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.etMsisdn);
        edt = new EditText(this);
        edt.setId(0);
        li.addView(edt);
}

Thank you very much

You can set a tag for your dynamically created EditText with calling setTag(Object tag) method. Then, you can simply find it with calling findViewWithTag() method.

// Dynamically create EditText
EditText editText = new EditText(this);
editText.setTag("editText");

// Find it via tag
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewWithTag("editText");
