How to make TextView print the value from EditText?

I want the EditText element print the value I have entered in the UserInputs Array. I have tried Log.v and doInBackground,but that doesn't work.
I would be happy if you can explain how do I print the needed value in the EditText in the future, because I'm new in the Adnroid development.
I can send .xml file if needed.
Also, don't mind comments inside the code...
This is the code:
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.util.*;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText user_input;
private EditText user_input1;
private Button Button;
private TextView result;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
user_input = findViewById(R.id.user_input);
Button = findViewById(R.id.Button);
result = findViewById(R.id.result);
user_input1 = findViewById(R.id.user_input1);
Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(user_input.getText().toString().trim().equals("")&&user_input1.getText().toString().trim().equals(""))
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Введите хотя бы 2 варианта", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
else{
//creating method for randomly choosing one of the user inputs
Random rand = new Random();
EditText[] userInputs = {user_input, user_input1};
int randomAnswer = rand.nextInt(userInputs.length);
result = userInputs[randomAnswer];
Log.v("EditText", result.getText().toString());
}}
});
}
private class getResult extends AsyncTask<String, String, TextView> {
#Override
protected TextView doInBackground(String... strings) {
return result;
}
}
}
Actually, I want to print the value in ResuRrect how to do that?

can you please explain me where exactly you want to print values??
So that I can help you.
If you want to print whatever inserted by user you can use textview to display it.
for that just add two textview in xml find it by id in java and on button click perform set text on it.
for example you have two textview
TextView tv1 = findViewById(R.id.tv1);
TextView tv2 = findViewById(R.id.tv2);
and button click will be as follows
Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(user_input.getText().toString().trim()) &&
TextUtils.isEmpty(user_input1.getText().toString().trim())) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Введите хотя бы 2 варианта", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
//creating method for randomly choosing one of the user inputs
tv1.setText(user_input.getText().toString().trim());
tv2.setText(user_input1.getText().toString().trim());
Log.e("EditText1", user_input.getText().toString().trim());
Log.e("EditText2", user_input2.getText().toString().trim());
}
}
});

Your question isn't clear but if you want to display text to the user, it is better to use TextView.
for the set text of EditText or TextView, you should use setText method.
user_input.setText("hello")

So anyway I made it work. Now when user enters two values in EditText, program will randomly choose on of the inputs and print it in the TextView.
Here is the code:
public void onClick(View v) {
if(user_input.getText().toString().trim().equals("")&&user_input1.getText().toString().trim().equals(""))
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Введите хотя бы 2 варианта", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
else{
//creating method for randomly choosing one of the user inputs
Random rand = new Random();
String[] key = {user_input1.getText().toString().trim(), user_input.getText().toString().trim()};
int randomAnswer = rand.nextInt(key.length);
result.setText(key[randomAnswer].toString().trim());
}}

Data passing between two activities repetitively

I'm a beginner in android studio and i want to write a code with 3 activities.
1st is for starting the app.2nd is for showing an English word and 3rd is for showing the English word and a description of it in two texts.
I want to transfer data of English word itself and its description and the number of the word to show the words one by one.
I wrote the code with help of tutorial clips but it ain't work and in 3rd activity shows nothing.
these are my codes:
main activity:
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void start(View view)
{
Intent i = new Intent(this,ActivityOne.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
ActivityOne
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ActivityOne extends AppCompatActivity {
int a=0;
String E , P;
private Button show;
private TextView Eword;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_one);
Eword = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Eword);
show = (Button) findViewById(R.id.show);
}
public void show(View view)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(this,ActivityTwo.class);
startActivity(intent);
int a = getIntent().getIntExtra("counter",0);
Eword.setText(Eng[a]);
E = Eword.getText().toString();
P = Fa[a];
a++;
intent.putExtra("counter",a);
intent.putExtra("EWord",E);
intent.putExtra("PWord",P);
}
private String[] Eng = {
"Abundance",
"Anxiety",
"Bruxism",
"Discipline",
"Drug Addiction"
};
private String[] Fa = {
"Abundance Description",
"Anxiety Description",
"Bruxism Description",
"Discipline Description",
"Drug Addiction Description"
};
}
ActivityTwo
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ActivityTwo extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView Eng , Fa;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_two);
Eng = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.eng);
Fa = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.fa);
// recieve data from activity one
String EWord = getIntent().getStringExtra("EWord");
String PWord = getIntent().getStringExtra("PWord");
int a = getIntent().getIntExtra("counter",0);
Eng.setText(EWord);
Fa.setText(PWord);
}
public void iknow(View view)
{
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this,ActivityOne.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
int a = getIntent().getIntExtra("counter",0);
myIntent.putExtra("counter",a);
}
public void idknow(View view)
{
Intent myIntentTwo = new Intent(this,ActivityOne.class);
startActivity(myIntentTwo);
int a = getIntent().getIntExtra("counter",0);
myIntentTwo.putExtra("counter",a);
}
}
And it shows this result:
It is the third activity and it can clear the pretext that was set in design page but can not replace EWord or PWord
Can someone help me?????

(1) To get you started, you need to put your variables into the intent before you start the activity. (2). I don't think its a good idea to have activity one start two, which then can start one. It is better to just close second activity which then automatically returns to one. (3) To pass data back to the activity you are returning you need to startActivityForResult https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result.html
activity one starts activity two using startActivityForResult. Activity Two returns an intent (which is the result intent) and activity one recieves this in onActivityResult.

My app will only output "false", not the code I want

I used samples from similar code to make this, unfortunately I'm not to sure what I did wrong.
The purpose of this app is to output text entered in a field to a TextView, where I changed the color, when a button is pressed.
package edu.wmich.project3
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class Main extends Activity {
String txtResult;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button text =(Button) findViewById(R.id.btnColor0);
final TextView result = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtResult));
text.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
txtResult= getText(R.id.txtField0).toString();
result.setText(txtResult);
}
});
}
}

txtResult = (findViewById(R.id.txtField0)).toString();
will solve...
the problem is that you're using the method getText() from the Activity which has nothing to do with the TextField you're dealing with.
...what is the type of view of R.id.txtField0? I guess with this you can take it from here.

need some tips on my code, my code doesn't change text on Android

This code to change text when the user presses a button doesn't work. i tried to change it in some ways but i can't figure out why won't it change... please give me a bit help
package com.cookbook.simple_activity;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class activity extends Activity {
private TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
txt.setText(R.string.pressthisbutton);
}
});
}
}

Change it to
public class activity extends Activity {
private TextView txt;
Button startButton;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple);
txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
You need to initialize your Views after inflating your layout with setContentView(). Since your Views exist in your layout, they will return null if you haven't inflated your layout first. You can declare them before your setContentView() but you can't initialize them until after.
Also, since you are trying to access txt inside your listener it must either be final or declared as a member variable as above.
This was a rather easy one to spot but they aren't always. When you post a question try to describe what isn't working and how. Here it would be a NPE I'm guessing when you try to set the listener on your Button so it crashes. When it does crash, please provide the logcat so it is easier for us to spot the problem.

package com.cookbook.simple_activity;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class activity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple);
final TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
txt.setText("your text");
}
});
}
}
try this, I moved your button and textview declaring to the body of the activity.

android life cycle always starts with onCreate() method assign the id inside the onCreate
don't use private modifer for the TextView
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class activity extends Activity {
TextView txt;
Button startButton;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple);
txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
txt.setText(R.string.pressthisbutton);
}
});
}
}

Always initialize your textview and other widgets in oncreate method other wise youll get NullPointerException
Try this way
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple);
txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
txt.setText("It Working Now!!");

I want to make password protected android application

I want to make password protected android app, but when in this simple program system is not matching two strings.
package com.pokmgr;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainPM extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.pm_layout);
final EditText pin = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.pinET);
final String pass = pin.getText().toString();
final String code = "ajaj";
Button enter = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enterBtn);
enter.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (pass.equals(code)) {
Intent in = new Intent(MainPM.this, Menu.class);
startActivity(in);
}
else {
Intent in = new Intent(MainPM.this, Menu2.class);
startActivity(in);
}
}
});
}
/*#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.pm_layout, menu);
return true;
}*/
}
I have made Menu and Menu2 class, but every time Menu2 class is accessed. Even if I enter same pass that is "ajaj" [in this code to test]
i have defined both activities in manifest file.
Can't understand why pass.eqals(code) is not working

The problem is that you are setting pass to the contents of the EditText when the activity gets created. Instead you have to retrieve the contents of your EditText inside the OnClickListener.
Like this:
public void onClick(View v) {
final String pass = pin.getText().toString();
if (pass.equals(code)) {
// do something
} else {
// do something different
}
}

Put pin.getText().toString(); inside onClick of button. You are setting variable pass before the user actually entered something in pinEt EditText.
