android - EditText array of existing EditTexts won't be declared right -

i creating app, in create edittexts dynamically id number.

i want pass information edittexts, tried create edittext array these , use .gettext().tostring() save them in string array, want pass next activity.

it seems won't create "editarray[]" in second code part correctly.

thanks in advance.

here's code (enternames.java) - creation of edittexts -> succesful

protected void numberofedittext() {     view vertlayout = (linearlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.vertlayout);      string spinvalue = getintent().getextras().getstring("spinvalue");     int intspinvalue = integer.valueof(spinvalue);      edittextcount = intspinvalue;     edittext[] edittextarray = new edittext[edittextcount];      (int = 0; < edittextcount; i++)     {         string name = "name " + (i+1);         edittextarray[i] = new edittext(this);         edittextarray[i].setid(i+1000);         edittextarray[i].settext(name);         edittextarray[i].settextsize(20);         edittextarray[i].setfilters( new inputfilter[] { new inputfilter.lengthfilter(15) } );         edittextarray[i].setselectallonfocus(true);         edittextarray[i].setsingleline(true);         edittextarray[i].setlayoutparams(new layoutparams(layoutparams.wrap_content,layoutparams.wrap_content));         ((linearlayout) vertlayout).addview(edittextarray[i]);     } } 

second code (enternames.java) - passing data next activity -> failure. testing think problem for-loops (the editarray returns null)

public void go(view view) {     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_enter_names);      string namearray [] = new string [edittextcount];     edittext editarray [] = new edittext [edittextcount];      intent intent = new intent(this, randomgeneration.class);      (int = 0; < edittextcount; i++)                      {                                                                editarray[i] = (edittext) findviewbyid(i+1000);     }      (int = 0; < edittextcount; i++)     {         namearray[i] = editarray[i].gettext().tostring();     }      bundle extras = new bundle();      extras.putint("numberofnames", edittextcount);     extras.putstringarray("namearray", namearray);      intent.putextras(extras);      startactivity(intent); } 

according activity.findviewbyid() documentation, method search views in xml, not in views added in java.

the simple way want:

class enternames extends activity {     private int edittextcount;     private edittext[] edittextarray;      protected void numberofedittext() {         linearlayout vertlayout = (linearlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.vertlayout);          edittextcount = integer.valueof(getintent().getextras().getstring("spinvalue"));         edittextarray = new edittext[edittextcount];          layoutparams params = new layoutparams(layoutparams.wrap_content,layoutparams.wrap_content);         (int = 0; < edittextcount; i++) {             string name = "name " + (i+1);             edittextarray[i] = new edittext(this);             edittextarray[i].settext(name);             edittextarray[i].settextsize(20);             edittextarray[i].setfilters( new inputfilter[] { new inputfilter.lengthfilter(15) } );             edittextarray[i].setselectallonfocus(true);             edittextarray[i].setsingleline(true);             edittextarray[i].setlayoutparams(params);             vertlayout.addview(edittextarray[i]);         }     }      […]      public void go(view view)     {         // delete views added linearlayout, don't use it!         //setcontentview(r.layout.activity_enter_names);          string namearray[] = new string[edittextcount];          (int = 0; < edittextcount; i++) {             namearray[i] = editarray[i].gettext().tostring();         }          bundle extras = new bundle();         extras.putint("numberofnames", edittextcount);         extras.putstringarray("namearray", namearray);          intent intent = new intent(this, randomgeneration.class);         intent.putextras(extras);         startactivity(intent);     } }
