I understand I want to use the 'OnClick' method and convert it to a string.....my syntax is off...as well as method.
EditText petNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.petNameField);
String petName;
public void onClick(View v) {
String name = petNameField.getText().toString();
Toast.makeText(CodeChallenge.this, name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
EditText petNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.petNameField);
String petName;
public void onClick(View v) {
String name = petNameField.getText().toString();
Toast.makeText(CodeChallenge.this, name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
