                A=(Text)findViewById(TEXT1);   // ERROR IS IN HERE!

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), A,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

Answer 1

Instead of Text , you probably meant to use TextView .

And to get its contents, use getText() , ie

String text = (TextView)findViewById(TEXT1).getText().toString();

Answer 2

You must replace Text by TextView and use this :

A = TEXT1.getText().toString();

instead of this :

A=(Text)findViewById(TEXT1);
