In Android, you can get the text from a TextView using the getText()
method. This method returns a CharSequence
object, which can be converted to a string using the toString()
method.
For example, if you have a TextView with the ID "my_textview", you can get its text in the following way:
val myTextView: TextView = findViewById(R.id.my_textview)
val text = myTextView.text.toString()
In this example, the variable "myTextView" is assigned the TextView with the ID "my_textview". And then the text
variable will hold the text of the text view.
Alternatively, if you're using the Kotlin synthetic properties, you can directly access the text property of the TextView like this:
val text = my_textview.text.toString()
It's important to note that the getText()
method returns the current text of the TextView, including any changes made by the user or programmatically.
You can also get the text of a TextView programmatically by using the getText()
method, which returns a CharSequence
object. You can then convert this object to a string using the toString()
method.
In summary, getting text from a TextView in Android can be done by using the getText()
method and converting the returned CharSequence
object to a string using the toString()
method.
