Question

I am having a problem in storing a Edit able Text value in a string. I just want to store a value that user enter store it in some variable. i used toast just after storing a value to check whether the value is store in it or not and toast doesn’t show any value. i try the following code but didnt find it helpful.

    package com.example.electropollsys;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;



public class CreateAcc extends Activity {
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
     this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  
             WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

     setContentView(R.layout.create_acc);

     final Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
     b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {

             Intent i = new Intent(CreateAcc.this, SignIn.class);
            i.addFlags(
                Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
                Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                startActivity(i);
         }


     });

     final Button a = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
     a.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {


            @SuppressLint("ShowToast")
            public void onClick(View v){

                EditText input1= (EditText)findViewById(R.id.fname1); 
                String fname = input1.getEditableText().toString();

                EditText input2= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.lname1); 
                String lname = input2.getEditableText().toString();

                Toast.makeText(CreateAcc.this,"...."+fname+"...." , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                Toast.makeText(CreateAcc.this,"...."+lname+"...." , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

              }
         });
    }
    }

Answer 1

Try:

Toast.makeText(CreateAcc.this,"...."+fname+"...." , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(CreateAcc.this,"...."+lname+"...." , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Toasts do not show unless the show() method is called. the makeText() method returns a Toast object which you must use to display the toast.

You normally get a lint warning about this, but you seem to have suppressed it with @SuppressLint("ShowToast").
