Question

How can I create a button which resets/deletes all text in an EditText.

This is some code I’ve written:

private View.OnClickListener onRes =new View.OnClickListener(){

    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        // Here i wanna put some code to clear the EditText

    }
};

I don’t have any idea how to do that.

If you have more than one EditText, something like a form and you would like to have a reset button that resets all fields then I suggest you create an ArrayList which holds all your EditText widgets.

Once your reset button is pressed just iterate over the list and clear every field. Here is an example:

// Your already defined EditText widgets.
List<EditText> fieldList = new ArrayList<EditText>();

fieldList.add(editText1);
fieldList.add(editText2);
// and so on

public void onClick(View v) {
    for (EditText field : fieldList) {
        field.setText("");
    }
}
