get EditText value from onclick function

How do I get the value of my EditText that the user typed in from the function that was called when the onClick was pressed. I tried this below but its not working. Thanks for the help.

 <EditText android:id="@+id/myEditT" />

<Button android:text="MY BUTTON" android:onClick="GetThis" />

public void GetThis(View view) {


    EditText x = (EditText)parentView.findViewById( R.id.myEditT);

    // alert the x variable

 }

In XML,

<EditText android:id="@+id/myEditT"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/myButton"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>

In Java,

public void onCreate(Bundle saved){
    super.onCreate(saved);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_xml);
    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
    EditText edtText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEdit);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new onClickListener(
        public void onClick(View v){
            String value = edtText.getText().toString();
        }
    )); 
}

EditText x = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditT);

public void GetThis(View view) {
    String getEditTextValue = x.getText().toString();
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getEditTextValue, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
