android -- make calculations with input data (numeric) -- (show graphs?)

I am starting to learn android and i have a few questions. I have my main program as:

public class Radiation_overflowActivity  extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    EditText init_cores;
        View final_cores;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    //Set up click listeners
    init_cores=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.init_cores);
    //init_cores.setOnClickListener(this);
    final_cores=(View) findViewById(R.id.final_cores);
    final_cores.setOnClickListener(this);

     }

    //called when a button is clicked
    public void onClick(View v) {

        switch (v.getId()){

        case R.id.final_cores:
            //int r = Integer.parseInt(init_cores.getText().toString().trim());
            double initcores=Double.parseDouble(init_cores.getText().toString().trim());
            double l=2,t=2;
            double fcores=initcores*Math.exp(-l*t);
            Intent i=new Intent(this,calcs.class);
            i.putExtra("value",fcores);
            startActivity(i);
            break;
         }

       }
      }

Also, my main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/initial_cores" />
<EditText
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/init_cores"
    android:inputType="numberDecimal" />
<Button
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/final_cores"
    android:text="@string/calculate" />
</LinearLayout>

My calcs.java:

public class calcs extends Activity{

    TextView calcs_final;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.calcs);

        calcs_final=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.calcs_final);

        double f=getIntent().getExtras().getDouble("value");

        calcs_final.setText(Double.toString(f));


}

}

My calcs.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/calcs_final" 
        android:text="@string/result" />


</LinearLayout>

I want to do this:

The user enters data into the edittext (init_cores) and then i want to make some calculations to compute the final_cores and show it to the user.

I have trouble for showing the results.I am starting another activity (calcs.class and calcs.xml). Where i must do the calculations?To the calcs.class? Right now,the user enters a number ,presses the "Calculate" button and then it shows the text (from the strings.xml) "Number of cores"" ,but not the result.

Also, can i use the input from the data and from my calculations and make a plot?If you could give me some directions to this.

Finally,is my approach right?

Thank you!

As per I think your final_cores is a view on which, you want to get your edittext's value for calculation(Hope I am not wrong)

So, just do Something like,

public void OnClick(View v) {

    switch (v.getId()){

    case R.id.final_cores:
        int r = Integer.parseInt(init_cores.getText().toString().trim());
        Intent i=new Intent(this,calcs.class);
        i.putExtra("value",r);
        startActivity(i);
        break;
    }

}

Remove onClickListener from your init_cores edittext. And get values of r in your Calcs.class using 

int r = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("value");

Also be sure in your edit text always you are entering numeric values so it can be parsable into Integer..

Try this and let me know what happen..

Thanks,

For plotting your data, you can use the AChartEngine library, which is quite extensive and easy to use.
