Question

I’ve got a problem with populating an edittext. Using the following code i can set the text just fine, however what i am trying to do is add to the edittext. For example the following code displays a “1” in my edittext but if I press it again it just replaces the “1” with “1” and so on. What i need is it to display “1111” if I press it four times.

heres my code:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {
                    case R.id.button1:

                        Button txtnum = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

                        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
                        bundle.putString("number1", txtnum.getText().toString());
                        String title = bundle.getString("number1");
                        ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1)).setText(title);



                        break;

Hope this makes sence. (I’m a noob)
If anyone can help me with this I’d really appreciate it.
thanks Steve

Answer 1

try this code

String title = bundle.getString("number1");
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.append(title);

if you want to set the only new value use this

editText.setText(title);
