Courses Plus Student 8,592 PointsI think you might just want something like:
EditText petNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.petNameField);
String petName = petNameField.getText().toString();
The petNameField holds the EditText field that you are interested in. Calling .getText().toString() on an EditText object will return the text in that field which you can then store as a String, petName.
