EditText.getText（）。toString（）崩溃

Question

In my android application , I have 3 dialogue boxes in which the user puts info into 3 editTexts and it will display the one of the data onto another class/page after it randomly picks which data to choose.

This is my mainClass

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
   //Variables are displayed in this area 
    String choices[] = new String[3];
    //EditText editText;
    //EditText editText2;
    //EditText editText3;
    Button mainButton ; 

    Random rand = new Random(); 
    int finalChoice; 
    String displayChoice = ""; 
    EditText editText ; 
    EditText editText2; 
    EditText editText3;
    EditText editText4; 
    String test;
    int count = 3; 


//--------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


        //Makes Button

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        declareTextBox(); 
        setButton(); 
        String choice1 = editText.getText().toString();
        String choice2 = editText2.getText().toString(); 
        String choice3 = editText3.getText().toString();

        choices[0] = choice1; //pass from click button to method.
        choices[1] = choice2;
        choices[2] = choice3;  

        finalChoice =rand.nextInt(2);


    }
     public void setButton()
     {
         final Button mainbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mainButton);

         mainbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {

             test =  ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText4)).getText().toString(); 

        // count++; 
         //retChoice(); 
            // loadScreen(); 
         Intent i  = new Intent(MainActivity.this, resultScreen.class);
         i.putExtra("display" , displayChoice);

         Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,loadingScreen.class);

            //start the second Activity
         MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent);


          }
      }); 

     }
    public void declareTextBox()
    {
        editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        editText2 =  (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2); 
        editText3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3); 

    }
    public void getString(String finalChoice)
    {
        finalChoice = displayChoice; 
    }


    public String retChoice()
    {


        displayChoice = choices[finalChoice];

        return displayChoice; 
    }
    public void clearText()
    {
         editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                 editText.setText(" "); 
                }
            }); 

         editText2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    editText2.setText(" "); 
                }
            }); 

         editText3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    editText3.setText(" "); 
                }
            }); 

    }
    public void getText2()
    {

    }
    public void getText()
    {



    }



    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

This is my Display class :

public class resultScreen extends Activity {
    MainActivity ma = new MainActivity(); 
    //Method supposedly retrieves the string data from MainActivity Class but somehow displayed null instead. 
    //Find a way to keep the string variable when transfering from one class to another class. 
      String finalResult = ma.retChoice(); 
      public void onCreate(Bundle resultScreen){
      super.onCreate(resultScreen);
      setContentView(R.layout.resultscreen);
      //ma.displayChoice.toString(); 

      String str = finalResult;

      TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
      text.setText(str);

      final Button backbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.backButton);
      backbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(View v) 

      {

      Intent intent = new Intent(resultScreen.this,MainActivity.class);
      resultScreen.this.startActivity(intent);     


      }
        });



        }

}

And this is my loading screen class right after the main button is clicked

public class loadingScreen extends Activity{

protected void onCreate(Bundle loadingScreen) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    super.onCreate(loadingScreen);
    setContentView(R.layout.loadingscreen);


    //If sound clip 20 sec long we don't want to carryit outside next class


    // A timer thread looking for "run" method
    Thread timer = new Thread()
    {
        public void run() {
            try {

                //this is how many mil sec
                sleep(8000);


            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

            } finally {
                Intent intent = new Intent(loadingScreen.this, resultScreen.class);
                loadingScreen.this.startActivity(intent);
                loadingScreen.this.finish();

             }

        }
    };
    timer.start();
}

}

My app crashes a few seconds into the loading screen when the program attempts to display the data on the resultScreen.

Here's my logCat

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

I believe I see the problem. You are trying to access your Array but it is an instance variable instead of static so it is being killed off when you exit your Activity . You can either put them in a static class and access them that way or pass a String variable through your Intent , depending on what you need.

If you have the value of the String you need when you leave MainActivity then I would probably just pass it through your Intent . If the value depended on something in one of your other Activities then I would consider putting it in a separate class but it doesn't look like that's what you need here

Edit

You are already doing it here, kind of

Intent i  = new Intent(MainActivity.this, resultScreen.class);
     i.putExtra("display" , displayChoice);

     Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,loadingScreen.class);

But you aren't starting the Activity that would get the String

i.putExtra("display" , displayChoice);

that line would pass a String with key "displpay" and value of displayChoice , although I think that value is an empty String at that point, but you don't start that Activity . I'm lost on how your flow is suppose to work but basically you would do something like this

String displayChoice = "testValue";   // some arbitrary value--whatever you need to send
Intent i  = new Intent(MainActivity.this, resultScreen.class);  // create the Intent
i.putExtra("display" , displayChoice);  // add the extra
startActivity(i);  //start the Activity

then to get the value inside resultScreen in onCreate()

Intent recIntent = getIntent();  // get the Intent that started this Activity
String value = recIntent.getStringExtra("display");   // get the value using the key
// value now equals "testValue"

Answer 2

I think your app chash because you have an ANR: "Application Not Responding" because you are running a long procces inside the UIThread. (onCreate() method is form the UIThread)

Use rather as an Asyntack for your sleeping thread or one handler (with messages).

If you need more I can edit your code tomorrow.
