There is no overload of method setTag which would accept String as the first parameter. See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View

Use either of below

edittext.settag(new Project(projectname, projectid, String.valueOf(s), peojectdesc, projecttype));

or

edittext.settag(0, new Project(projectname, projectid, String.valueOf(s), peojectdesc, projecttype)); // first parmeter could be any int value

To fetch use either of below as per set method used

Project project  = (Project)edittext.gettag();

or

Project project  = (Project)edittext.gettag(0); // use the key used for setting the tag

Edit

To get projectname do this after fetching tag

String projectName = project.projectname; // If its a public property

or

String projectName = project.getProjectName(); // If you have getter setter

if none is true, create a getter method for it in the POJO.

Then how to get individual data from project – stackmariann y May 15 '19 at 08:42
You can achieve exactly what you want to achieve using int key rather than a string key. there is no difference. – Rohit5k2 May 15 '19 at 08:44
its not about the key the doubt is hot to print the gettag object – stackmariann y May 15 '19 at 08:51
printing is a different matter. You can override `toString` in the POJO. Int this method print every property of this POJO you want to print. Then use it to print it. Like `project.toString()` – Rohit5k2 May 15 '19 at 08:53
one more doubt how to take the projectname in this case Project project = (Project)edittext.gettag(0); – stackmariann y May 15 '19 at 10:20
setting tag showing error IllegalArgumentException: The key must be an application-specific resource id. – stackmariann y May 15 '19 at 10:24
