Question

I am attempting to create a toast pop-up when the icon at the bottom of the layout (the screen icon) https://i.stack.imgur.com/C8WgN.png

I want the information entered to be put into the toast notification like a shipping address

First Last

Street

City State Zip

is there a way to do this where the toast calls on the Id’s for the EditText views?

The .xml with the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"

With my .java file being

public class Basic extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.basic);
    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinner01);
    ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
            this, R.array.state_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

   }
}

You would need to do a few things.

1. For each editText area you want to get the values from, you’ll want to define an android:id using the following style of syntax

2. Retrieve the views you’d like to use from your xml layout inside the Java. Based on the above, you’d want to add something to you onCreate like:

   EditText phoneField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phone_field)

3. Retrieve the value from the EditText object

   String phoneNumber = phoneField.getText().toString()

4. Show the field in a Toast message
   Toast toDisplay = Toast.makeText(context, phoneNumber)
   toDisplay.show()

There are obviously tons of additional things you could do, but that would be about the minimum.
