Displaying text from from edittext to textview

I have a weather app that requires you to take the text from a edit text field and display it in a text view, I'm trying to make it so when I enter a place it will generate random weather for them along with displaying their input.
I haven't tried much apart from examples online as I recently started learning android development.
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import org.w3c.dom.Text;
/**
* Implementation for the main activity
*/
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
// member variable for the user provided location
private String location;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// get the Get Forecast button
Button btnGetForecast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGetForecast);
// set the click listener to the btnGetForecast Button
btnGetForecast.setOnClickListener(this);
EditText loc = findViewById(R.id.etLocationInput);
location = loc.getText().toString();
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// view is the View (Button, ExitText, TextView, etc) that was clicked
// if it was the btnGetForecast
if (view.getId() == R.id.btnGetForecast){
}
}
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/tvTitle" />
<TextView

<Button

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Get Forecast" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvLocationDisplay"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="The weather in " />
</LinearLayout>
I expect the app to show input from user and display it in text view

This line in your onCreate: 'location = loc.getText().toString()' will only get the current text in loc, which at onCreate will be an empty string.
You should look into TextWatcher: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/TextWatcher. This will allow you to get a callback when the text of loc changes and you can then carry out your weather generation.

Well, all you need to do is to add this code in onClick method:
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// view is the View (Button, ExitText, TextView, etc) that was clicked
// if it was the btnGetForecast
if (view.getId() == R.id.btnGetForecast){
String text = loc.getText().toString();
yourTextView.setText(text);
}
}
And don't forget to make view variables global, so you could access them outside onCreate method, without using findViewById() again.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
private TextView yourTextView;
private EditText loc;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// get the Get Forecast button
Button btnGetForecast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGetForecast);
// set the click listener to the btnGetForecast Button
btnGetForecast.setOnClickListener(this);
loc = findViewById(R.id.etLocationInput);
yourTextView = findViewById(R.id.tvLocationDisplay);
}
...
}

Could not find method in parent or ancestor context

I've been dealing with this problem for awhile and have looked at all the relevant questions I could find, such as: this one, this one, and this one. Could you help me correct this error? It's the only one being thrown by the logcat.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find method playPauseMusic(View) in a parent or

Defining onClick in xml means you need to define it for a particular view here is ImageButton you can not have two arguments in that method.
Your error is also saying that Could not find method playPauseMusic(View) means compiler needs a public method with single parameter View, whereas you were having two parameters: View & ImageButton.
This is the reason why you where getting that error. Just remove one argument from the method and it will work.
Do it like this :
public class radio extends AppCompatActivity {
/** Called when the user touches the button */
public void playPauseMusic (View playPause) {
String url = "http://streamer.cci.utk.edu:8000/wutk-vorbis"; // your URL here
final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer){
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
((ImageButton)playPause).setImageResource(R.drawable.play1);
} else {
((ImageButton)playPause).setImageResource(R.drawable.pause1);
}
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
}
}
One more thing writing android:onClick="playPauseMusic" means the method playPauseMusic will be called on Button click so you have already defined a button click so no need to define it inside the method by playPause.setOnClickListener so I have removed that code.

Your code possibly should start with:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
}
You're specifying onClick in xml
android:onClick="playPauseMusic"
So, the method works, you've got inner onClicks too. If they are some views.
You gotta initialize and get it from the xml in code, for ex-
If you have ImageButton in xml, whose id is "playPause"
ImageButton playPause; //Declare it here if you wanna use it in all other places in the class or outside of your class
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
playPause = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.playPause);
playPause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view) {
//OnCLick Stuff
}
});
}
In Your case, you've got onClick attribute in xml and another onCLick in code. You Use one.

The question is already answered but I hope this will help someone like me in the future. I was having this error:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.test1, PID: 6892
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find method btnClickStartThread(View) in a parent or ancestor Context for android:onClick attribute defined on view class com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton with id 'btnStartThread1'
at androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatViewInflater$DeclaredOnClickListener.resolveMethod(AppCompatViewInflater.java:447)
at androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatViewInflater$DeclaredOnClickListener.onClick(AppCompatViewInflater.java:405)
After struggling a lot I got it fixed by going to layouts and I realized I had two layouts:
activity_main.xml
activity_main.xml (v21)
My changes were just reflecting on one and the app was loading other version of layout.
As suggested here

Stash the Value of edittext into an variable and print it into LogCat

I am new to Android Development and Java. I have problems stashing the value of an EditText into a variable and printing it out in the Console afterwards.
I have read about getText(), but i dont quite understand how it works.

public class notescreen extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.notescreen);
EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.title);
String value = text.getText().toString();
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
I have tried some things you suggested, by i am getting a lot of problems:
I would like to upload a screenshot, but i dont have 10 reputations.
Here is the edited code:
package com.example.simplenote;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class notescreen extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.notescreen);
Button b1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
EditText title = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.title);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String value = title.getText().toString();
tv =settext(value);
}
});
final String TAG = "MyClass";
Log.d(TAG, value);
//EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.title);
//String value = text.getText().toString();
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

Try this:
//Add your packagename here please
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class notescreen extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Here is where you call the super on this method.
// Mostly always comes as first line of any onCreate.
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// After you have your layout set, you can retrieve your references
setContentView(R.layout.notescreen);
// You have just recovered your view class
final EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.title);
// You have just recovered the text of that view class (text)
// final String value = text.getText().toString();
// The log works as a printer on the console
// Log.d("notescreen", "This is the text: " + value);
// But hey... there is no text right "onCreate", right?
// Soo...
// Retrieve a button (you will need to create it on XML first)
final Button clickForTextBt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clickfortextbt);
// Make that button print your message
clickForTextBt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("notescreen", "This is the text: " + text.getText());
}
});
}
}

From the beginning, you do not which is the variable which is storing the value.
EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.title);
The line above, that is storing a reference to your EditText. This allows you to call functions on that object relevant to the EditText, i.e. getText() and setText(). There are other functions you can call as well but those two are the main two you are going to want to use.
getText retrieves the value from the text box, e.g. if you typed into the text box "hello" then getText() would return the string "hello". getText() will always return a string, even if a number has been entered.
setText sets the contents shown in the text box. E.g. if you were to run s text.setText("hello"); when this line is executed it will show "hello" in the edit text.
String value = text.getText().toString();
The line above is where you are storing the actual value of the edit text. So, using the example above, you typed "hello" into the edit text, when the line above is called the variable value will now equal "hello".
To output this variable to the console, there is a class called Log. This class has various functions that outputs to the console (otherwise known as logcat in android).
The various types are
Log.d = debug type messages
Log.e = messages to indicate error (coloured in red)
Log.v = verbose messages (coloured green)
Log.w = warning messages (coloured yellow)
I think there are a couple of others but I can't remember them.
To output your variable that has the value from what the text.getText() function returned you pass this variable into one of the above Log functions.
Each of the above log functions take two parameters, a tag parameter and a value parameter.
The tag parameter is just a name, so you can filter the messages to only show that name, it is quite common to create a static final string for the tag which is the class name, for example in the line below.
private static final string TAG = "MyClass"
Then to output the text variable you would use the following line
Log.d(TAG, value);
You could if you wanted to make the message clearer as to what that value represents, concat a string at the beginning so the could might become
Log.d(TAG, "The value of my edit text is: " + value);
Using the example above, if in your edit text you typed hello, the log cat would show one of the following, depending on what line you used above
MyClass hello
MyClass The value of my edit text is: hello
Hope this helps

How to get instance of view's parent fragment:

I have a fragment with an XML layout file. in it I have an 2 clickable ImageViews.
for each ImageView I set an onClick method for example: android:onClick="commentFragmentRemoveOnClick".
In the FragmentActivity (The Activity no the Fragment) I defined it this way:
public void commentFragmentRemoveOnClick(View v)
{
}
No this Fragment is of type CommentFragment and it has a public void getFragmentTag()method
to get it's tag that I save in earlier time. I need to get an instance of the fragment in which the image was clicked to get it's tag.
I tried:
((CommentFragment)v).getParentFragment().getFragmentTag();
and:
((CommentFragment)v).getParent().getFragmentTag();
but eclipse gives me error on both of them, how is this done properly?
To make it more clear this is my CommentFragment:
public class CommentFragment extends Fragment {
private final static String TAG = CommentFragment.class.getSimpleName();
private String fragmentTag;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.comment_fragment_layout,
container, false);
Bundle bundle = getArguments();
String text = bundle.getString("comment");
String fullUser = bundle.getString("user");
String user = fullUser.substring(0, fullUser.indexOf("#"));
String at = bundle.getString("at");
TextView tvCmment = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvComment);
TextView tvUser = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvUser);
TextView tvAt = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvDate);
tvCmment.setText(text);
tvUser.setText(user);
tvAt.setText(at);
return rootView;
}
public void setText(String item)
{
TextView view = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tvComment);
view.setText(item);
}
public void setFragmentTag(String tag)
{
this.fragmentTag = tag;
}
public String getFragmentTag()
{
return this.fragmentTag;
}
}
and the layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I would love for a little assistance.
Thanks.

I have a general advice for you that would solve your problem and help you in the future -
don't use android:onClick in the xml file, use setOnClickListener in the code itself - need to avoid mixing your views with other parts of the app as much as possible.
Try to keep the Fragment independent of its activity.
If the image is part of the fragment, why does the listener is part of the FragmentActivity?
Use setOnClickListener in the fragment itself, and you might be able to use this Framgent in other pats of the app without being depended on the Activity.
It would also solve your problem of identifying the fragment in which the image was clicked.

v is not an instance of Fragment, that's why Eclipse does not like your code. If you want the instance of a fragment you have to use the FragmentManager and one of its findFragmentByXXX methods.

To get the instance of the fragment that the ImageView was clicked in I did the following:
in the Fragment I set two onClickListeners for both of the images like this:
iEdit = (ImageView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.iEdit);
iEdit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Log.d(TAG, "pressed edit button");
((PicturesAndCommentsActivity) getActivity()).commentFragmentEditOnClick(fragmentTag);
}
});
iRemove = (ImageView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.iRemove);
iRemove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Log.d(TAG, "pressed remove button");
((PicturesAndCommentsActivity) getActivity()).commentFragmentRemoveOnClick(fragmentTag);
}
});
and in the fragment activity I defined those two methods like this:
public void commentFragmentRemoveOnClick (String tag)
{
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.remove(fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(tag)).commit();
}
for removing the fragment, and Now I'm working on editing the fragment.

Changing the position of the thumb of the SeekBar using a different Button

I'm trying to move the position of the seekbar using a button. Basically I have a seekbar from 0 to 100. and I have button presents set up at arbitrary values (40,50,60 etc). When I try to set the progress on the seekbar via button, I get a fault.. I've already initialized the seekBar in the onCreate() method.
SeekBar seekBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);
currentProgress = 40;
seekBar.setMax(100);
seekBar.setProgress(currentProgress);
button40.setOnClickListener(button40Listener);
But when use the below, it crashes.
private OnClickListener button40Listener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
currentProgress = 40;
seekBar.setProgress(currentProgress);
}
}
This seems straight-forward. Any ideas?

You shouldn't need to put up another Seekbar. The initial one should be fine. Without the exception message and stack trace I'm not sure what is causing the crash. However, I just coded an example and works as you would expect. Perhaps by looking at my example you can identify your issue.
SeekbarTest.java:
package com.example.seekbartest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
public class SeekbarTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private SeekBar seekBar;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
seekBar = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);
Button fortyPctButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonFortyPct);
fortyPctButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
seekBar.setProgress(40);
}
});
Button sixtyPctButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonSixtyPct);
sixtyPctButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
seekBar.setProgress(60);
}
});
Button eightyPctButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonEightyPct);
eightyPctButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
seekBar.setProgress(80);
}
});
}
}
And here is the main.xml it is referencing for the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:text="#string/hello"
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/>
<SeekBar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
