How To Copy a Text from a EditText to another EditText by button clicking in Android?

i wanted to write an app that when you click on the button , copy the text you entered in the EditText to other EditText...

i wrote this codes:

package com.example.learningapp;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Button Copy = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    Copy.setOnClickListener(this);
}


EditText enteredText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
EditText copiedText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);


@Override
public void onClick(View v){
    enteredText.getText().toString();
    copiedText.setText((CharSequence) enteredText);  
}
}

and this is the XML file

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.learningapp.MainActivity$PlaceholderFragment" >

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="54dp"
    android:ems="10" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="149dp"
    android:ems="10" />

<Button

Solution

I think this is the problem

public void onClick(View v){
    enteredText.getText().toString();
    copiedText.setText((CharSequence) enteredText);  
}

Replace it as

public void onClick(View v){

    copiedText.setText(enteredText.getText().toString(););  
}

FROM your LOGCAT

It can be seen that you have put these two lines

EditText enteredText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
EditText copiedText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);

outside onCreate().That'll surely be an error as any view that has to be initialised has to be done in onCreate()

So,Kindly move those two lines into your onCreate()
