Converting TextView to String (kind of) Android
72,693
Solution 1
Getting text from a TextView
returns CharSequence
. To convert CharSequence
to String
, toString()
function is used.
String sharedFact = theFact.getText().toString();
Solution 2
TextView theFact = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.theFact);
String shareFact = theFact.getText().toString();

I have an object on my main.xml layout file called thefact that is TextView. I also have a string called sharefact. I want to save what text is in the TextView into the sharefact string. I can't do:
sharefact = thefact
Or anything similar to that because it would want me to convert sharefact into a textview.
Thanks!
