Having trouble for getting input from EditText field for Android

Question

I am developing one android application. In which I want to take input from edittext field as string. Here I want to use this string for urlencoder. so every time when I type some thing in text field then this changes must comes to the urlencoder.

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {

int converId=1;
Button button1;
EditText edittext;
String ask, query;{
try {

    ///I want to put user input value at query string as string 

query="hi";

    ///This query string encoded here

ask=URLEncoder.encode(query, "UTF-8");
Log.d("TEST", ask);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} 
}
TextView tv;
String str_botsay;

String fm = "&format=json&convo_id=";
String fpart = "http://10.0.2.2/POM/chatbot/conversation_start.php?say=",
url = fpart+ask+fm+converId;

String URL = url.toString();
public static final String TAG_USERSAY = "usersay";
public static final String TAG_BOTSAY = "botsay";
public static final String TAG_CONVO_ID = "convo_id";

JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
    edittext= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
    button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    query= edittext.getText().toString();
    button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
     public void onClick(View arg0) {

      //I place this line for that but i don't works

    query= edittext.getText().toString();
    new GetBotResponse().execute();
     }
     });

}


private class GetBotResponse extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{


    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrlByGet(URL);
        try {

            String str_usersay = json.getString(TAG_USERSAY);

            Log.i("TAG_usersay", str_usersay);
             str_botsay = json.getString(TAG_BOTSAY);

            Log.i("TAG_botsay", str_botsay);
            String str_convo_id = json.getString(TAG_CONVO_ID);

            Log.i("TAG_convo_id", str_convo_id);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tv.setText(str_botsay);

    }

}
    }

Please help me regarding this!

Answer 1

Change your Button click implementation like below

   button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
    query= edittext.getText().toString();
    url = fpart+query+fm+converId;  
    new GetBotResponse().execute(url);
    }
    });

Channge your AsyncTask like below code

private class GetBotResponse extends AsyncTask<String, Void, JSONObject>{


@Override
protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... params) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrlByGet(params[0]);

    return json;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject json) {
if(json!=null)
{
   try {

        String str_usersay = json.getString(TAG_USERSAY);

        Log.i("TAG_usersay", str_usersay);
        String str_botsay = json.getString(TAG_BOTSAY);

        Log.i("TAG_botsay", str_botsay);
        String str_convo_id = json.getString(TAG_CONVO_ID);

        Log.i("TAG_convo_id", str_convo_id);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
    }
   }
    tv.setText(str_botsay);

    }

   }
