Android - Loop to collect all editText values

Question

I have around 50 EditText fields and I want to get their values using a loop. Getting the values individually as below works fine:

    SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
    editor.clear(); //not sure if this is required

    final EditText t1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text1Value);
    String T1 = t1.getText().toString();
    editor.putstring("text1",T1);

    final EditText t2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text2Value);
    String T2 = t2.getText().toString();
    editor.putstring("text2", T2);

   ................................ and so on till EditText t50.

I have tried achieving this through the loop below but couldn't get it to work.

       for(int x=1; x<50; x++) 
    {
        EditText et[x] = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text[x]Value);
        String t[x] = et[x].getText().toString();
        String Ref = "text" + x;
        editor.putString(Ref, t[x]);
    }

You can try this by creating an array of the ids of the textview and looping through the array. Try this:

int[] ids = new int[]{R.id.text1Value,R.id.text2Value,R.id.text3Value};//and so on

int i =1;
for(int id : ids){
    EditText t = (EditText) findViewById(id);
    String Ref = "text" + i;
    editor.putString(Ref, t.getText().toString());
  i++;
}
