How to access EditText type in Android Studio?

How can I access an EditText type from Android Studio ? I have already done the UI Design before writing the code on the MainActivity file. Do I need an extra import file in order to access EditText Type?

All I have done was to type: EditText nameTxt. But I got an error message at "EditText"

This is very simple. Firstly, make sure that you have given your EditText an id in the Layout (UI) file. This is the line you would add.

android:id="@+id/layout_item_id"

Next go to your Java file and add this line in the onCreate() method.

EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.yourEditTextId)

Now if you want to get the text that is inside the EditText then you would add this line:

String string = myEditText.getText().toString();

Most probably yes, you are missing the import in your java file. Try adding the import

import android.widget.EditText;
