                btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {

                        // it = new Intent(Activity_UserInput.this,
                        // Submition_Activity.class);

                        // + arryList);

                        String[] string = new String[allEds.size()];

                        for (int i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
                            string[i] = allEds.get(i).getText().toString();

                        }

My Layout :

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="@+id/mTopLayout" ></LinearLayout>

Within my activity

LinearLayout mLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mTopLayout);

 ArrayList<EditText> mCheck = new ArrayList<EditText>();


    EditText mEdit = new EditText(MainActivity.this);
    mEdit.setText("");
    mEdit.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    mEdit.requestFocus();
    mLayout.addView(mEdit);
    mCheck.add(mEdit);

    EditText mEdit1 = new EditText(MainActivity.this);
    mEdit1.setText("");
    mEdit1.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    mEdit1.requestFocus();
    mLayout.addView(mEdit1);
    mCheck.add(mEdit1);

    EditText mEdit2 = new EditText(MainActivity.this);
    mEdit2.setText("");
    mEdit2.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    mEdit2.requestFocus();
    mLayout.addView(mEdit2);
    mCheck.add(mEdit2); ......

Within onClick method

String[] st = new String[mCheck.size()];

for(int i=0;i<st.length;i++){
    st[i] = mCheck.get(i).getText().toString(); 
}
Log.i("Recived String", st.length+"");
for(int j=0;j<st.length;j++){
    Log.i(" String", st[j]+""+j);  }

It works fine for me....Please review your layout and let me know.... thanks...

Here, in your code arraylist of EditText created every time.So initialize allEds at startup

final ArrayList<EditText> allEds = new ArrayList<EditText>();

and then add EditText to arraylist

 final EditText editText = new EditText( Activity_UserInput.this);
             editText.setText("");
     editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
      editText.requestFocus();
    findViewById.addView(editText);
   allEds.add(editText);

You have created only one edittext and also you have added only one edittext to the allEds arraylist. You have also declared the size of the string[] to be the size of the allEds arraylist. So, the length of string[] will be 1 only and the for loop will execute only once. so that, you will get only one input.

If you want to create multiple edittext create them inside a for loop. Or if you are already creating them under a for loop try to declare the following line outside the loop instead of declaring inside.

{ArrayList<EditText> allEds = new ArrayList<EditText>();}

You are creating a new allEds everytime you put final ArrayList<EditText> allEds = new ArrayList<EditText>(); So the allEds will contain just one element.

Try creating it outside the for loop.
