How can one fetch user input from EditText from list of fragmens?

Question

My code is structured such that the "drawer activity" calls upon one of several fragment drawers that each contains a list of fragment items that utilize ItemAdapter to create a fragment list.

My main problem is that i have been trying to retrieve EditText with afterTextChanged() in item adapter but always get a NullPointerException and I want to be able to retrive the value that the user has just put in.

Any and all suggestions in a civil manner are much appreciated.

Drawer activity

One of several drawer fragments as an example

    String[] itemArr = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.drawer_three_items);
    int[] quantityArr = getResources().getIntArray(R.array.drawer_three_quantity);
    String[] typeArr = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.drawer_three_type);
    String item;
    int quantity;
    String type;

    for (int i = 0; i < itemArr.length; i++) {
        item = itemArr[i];
        quantity = quantityArr[i];
        type = typeArr[i];
        items.add(new Item(item, quantity, type));
    }

    ItemAdapter adapter = new ItemAdapter(getActivity(), items);

    ListView listView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.list);

Update After entering Log.e("input text", quantityTextView2.getText().toString()); inside "afterTextChanged" when user inputs a new number then in the terminal it prints the correct user input. When trying to encase this within a int variable it only ever returns the number 14, no matter the user input.

example from the run terminal

D/InputMethodManager: SSI - flag : 0 Pid : 16988 view : com.example.notandi.hospitalwagons

Update 2

It LIIIIVES!! Because of helpful reccomendations from user Nirav Bhavsar i explored the console log approch and inserted into "onTextChanged" the following code

   String numberInserted ;
            final View listItemView2 = listItemView1;
            final TextView quantityTextView2 = (TextView) listItemView2.findViewById(R.id.quantity);
            String userinput = quantityTextView2.getText().toString();
            System.out.println("user input: "+userinput);

It works and i am able to retrive the EditText value that the user inserted. Many thanks to the stack overflow community.

How can one fetch user input from EditText from list of fragmens?
