如何从用户输入的编辑文本中获取信息并将其作为TextView移至另一个活动

Question

I need to get information thats entered by the user in a EditText and move it to another activity by placing it under everything with a TextView. I'm new to this, and I'm sure it's simple. Please help. Thanks.

You don't want to do what you say you want to do, not exactly. You want to pass the information from one Activity to another, not the actual view.

At the point where you're launching the new activity:

String info = editText.getText().toString();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyNewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("info_key", info);
startActivity(intent);

Then, in your onCreate() in the new Activity:

Intent intent = getIntent();
String info = intent.getStringExtra("info_key");
textView.setText(info);
