Create variable from the click of the button

I would like to know how I can get text that is in a EditText after I click a button, and this value is stored in a new variable, clear my EditText, and perform the same action again, so storing the values on different variables, and then perform a calculation, my big question is to store each value in a variable for different time, appreciate if someone can help! Thank you.

ArrayList listString = new ArrayList(); 

Button myButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.BUTTON_ID);
EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EDITTEXT_ID);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
    listString.add(myEditText.getText().toString());
    myEditText.setText("");
}
});

Get String Values

for(int i=0;i<listString.size();i++)
{
           System.out.println("String values..."+listString.get(i).toString());
}

Button myButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.BUTTON_ID);
EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EDITTEXT_ID);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v){
        String myText = myEditText.getText().toString();
        //do whatever with myText;
        myEditText.setText("");
    }
});

Where BUTTON_ID and EDITTEXT_ID are the id's assigned to each respectively in your XML file
