For Example, consider filling the details in a form.<\/p>\n
To declare the Android EditText we write the following code in activity_main.xml<\/strong>:<\/p>\n To retrieve data entered through Android EditText we do the following:<\/p>\n We can also customize the EditText according to our needs, using attributes<\/a>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android:id= \u201c@+id\/UniqueName\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android: gravity= \u201cright\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android:textColor= \u201c#0000\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android: hint= \u201cEnter the name here\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android:TextColorHint= \u201c#008971\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android: Text= \u201cPassword\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android:TextSize= \u201c30dp\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android: TextStyle= \u201cbold | italic\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To add this, we write android: background= \u201c#000\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now we will see how we can implement EditText in our android application<\/strong><\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Step1:<\/strong> First of all we will create a new project and name it. After that, we will open the activity_main.xml<\/strong> file and write the following in it:<\/p>\n Step2:<\/strong> After that, we will write the following in MainActivity.java<\/strong> file:<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> Now we will run our code and the following would be the output:<\/p>\n i)<\/strong> The following would be the View of the application<\/strong>. ii)<\/strong> Now we will fill the details and press Enter<\/strong>. iii)<\/strong> After this, we will see the following generated message<\/strong> on the screen. iv)<\/strong> Also, we will then, fill the details<\/strong> in such a way that one editText remains empty as given below.<EditText\r\n android:id=\"@+id\/Nametext\"\r\n android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n android:hint=\"Enter your Name\"\r\n android:inputType=\"text\" \/><\/pre>\n
