Button error in android studio. Written in java but shows error. What should i do?

Question

I have enabled a button as well as a textField on Android studio.

The button returns the value on logs but somehow the code i've written for the textField returns an error.

Code as follows:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public void button (View view){
    EditText textView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.textView);// this line is an error.
    Log.i("i","info");
}

Answer 1

It is because you are trying to cast TextView into EditText which is not possible

If you want to take input from the user then EditText is your choice

If you want to show some text then TextView should fit your requirements

Solution

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
