How to get EditText value and display it on screen through TextView?

I want to get the user input for the EditText view and display it on the screen through TextView when the Button is clicked. I also, want to know what modifications can be done on the string.xml file to do this.

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..

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.

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

bb.setOnClickListener(
    new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        public void onClick(View view)
        {
            String s1=tt.getText().toString();
            tv.setText(s1);
        }
    }
);

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)

yesButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
	@Override
	public void onClick(View arg0) {
		eiteText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.nameET);
		String result=eiteText.getText().toString();
		Log.d("TAG",result);
	}
});

Easiest way to get text from the user:

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

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

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.

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

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
