I'm not an android developer, but my guess is you must move your code:

EditText Q1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Q1Actual);
EditText Q1A1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Q1A1);
EditText Q1A2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Q1A2);
EditText Q1A3 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Q1A3);
EditText Q1A4 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Q1A4);
String Q1Str = Q1.getText().toString();
String Q1A1Str = Q1A1.getText().toString();
String Q1A2Str = Q1A2.getText().toString();
String Q1A3Str = Q1A3.getText().toString();
String Q1A4Str = Q1A4.getText().toString();

inside a method For example, inside onCreate()
