Question

In my alertdialog the user enters a comment on a Edittext. When I convert the Editext to an editable then save the editable, it works. However when I try to concat it with other values into a string, it does not save the editable. When I use .toByte when concating with the string, it saved the bytes. I put a // by where the code is that is not working.
Here is my code.

    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
        final EditText input = new EditText(this);
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setTitle("Comments")
        .setMessage("Enter Comments below")
        .setView(input)
        .setPositiveButton("Enter",  new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            Editable value = input.getText();
            String string= value.toString()+ " "+ parent[groupPosition] + " "

//it does not combined value.toString() to the string.
+ kids[groupPosition][childPosition];

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                try {

                    FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput("repairs",
                            Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

                    fos.write(string.toString().getBytes());

                    fos.close();

                } catch (Exception e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();

                } 

Answer 1

have you tried placing

Editable value = input.getText();
String string= value.toString()+ " "+ parent[groupPosition] + " ";

inside your try block? As it’s currently written the value field is obtained when the OnClickListener is initialised and won’t reflect the latest user input.
