How to remove a dynamically created EditText?

Question

I want to remove my dynamically created edit text but i can not find that edittext id.. Basically I do not have any idea...

I used this code to create Edittext..

public void addEditText() {

    // add edittext
    etPincode = new EditText(mActivity);
    allEt.add(etPincode);
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams p = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    p.setMargins(0, 5, 0, 0);

    etPincode.setLayoutParams(p);
    etPincode.setId(numberOfLines + 1);
    etPincode.setPadding(50,50,50,50);
    etPincode.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.et_rectangular_noradius);
    etPincode.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_NORMAL);
    int maxLength = 10;
    InputFilter[] fArray = new InputFilter[1];
    fArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength);
    etPincode.setFilters(fArray);
    Log.v("etttId1", String.valueOf(etPincode.getId()));
    Log.v("etttId2", String.valueOf(numberOfLines));

    llPincode.addView(etPincode);
    numberOfLines++;
}

and this code for retrieving values from edittext.

strings[] = new String[allEt.size()];
    for(int i=0; i < allEt.size(); i++){
        strings[i] = allEt.get(i).getText().toString();
        pincodeArray.add(strings[i]);
    }

    pincodes= String.valueOf(pincodeArray);

I want to to remove my edittext and also want to add one remove image on right of edittext.

You can remove it by using llPincode

if llPincode has only one child or you know the position then use:

llPincode.removeChildAt(position);

if llPincode has multiple views then use loop

foreach(int i=0; i< llPincode.toChildCount; i++){
    if(view instance of EditText){
        llPincode.removeChildAt(i)
    }
}

As you already have a reference to etPincode saved outside addEditText(), you can simply do:

public void removeEdit(){
    llPincode.removeView(etPincode);
}
