Copy Paste userinput

Question

I'm working on an exercise and I am stock right now. I have to Copy the Userinput and then Paste the String created. Can anyone help me?

This is my code:

public class CopyPasteActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Button CopyButton;
    private Button PasteButton;
    private EditText UserInput;
    private TextView PasteText;
    private final static String TAG = "CopyPasteActivity";

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_copy_paste);

        CopyButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.copy_button);
        PasteButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.paste_button);
        UserInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.user_input);
        PasteText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.paste_text);

        final String userinput = new String();

        CopyButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.d(TAG, "The button Copy was pressed");
               String userinput = UserInput.getText().toString();
            }
        });

        PasteButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.d(TAG, "The button True was pressed");
                PasteText.setText(userinput);
            }
        });
    }
}

The problem is that you are declaring userinput inside onCreate() and making it final, which prevents you from editing it later. Also inside the CopyButton click listener you are creating a new local variable for userinput whose scope is limited to that listener only.

Move String userinput = new String(); outside of onCreate(), removing final, and change the line in the CopyButton listener to

userinput = UserInput.getText().toString();
