Android Question How to get edittext.text from scrollview

[patrick14384]

I may be taking the wrong approach, but I am lost on this. I have the scroll view working, but want to collect the edtField.text values so I can send them off to the database. See the end of the code.

sub globals
    Dim edtField As EditText
    Dim EditList As List
End Sub

Sub AddScrollViewToDisplay

    Dim ScrollViewMain As ScrollView
    Dim PanelNb As Int            : PanelNb=20
    Dim PanelHeight As Int    : PanelHeight=50dip
    Dim DBFields As List
    Dim i As Int

    DBFields.Initialize
    DBFields.AddAll(Array As String("Category","Sub Category","Time Increment"))
   
    'Insert at the first record the title for the page
    DBFields.InsertAt(0, "Add New Record")
   
    ScrollViewMain.Initialize(500)
    Activity.AddView(ScrollViewMain, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
   
    EditList.Initialize
    PanelNb = DBFields.Size + 2
    'Cycle through the fields that are given and create a panel for each one on the scroll View
    For i=0 To DBFields.Size
        Dim PanelForScroll As Panel
        Dim lblField As Label
        Dim edtField As EditText
        PanelForScroll.Initialize("PanelForScroll")
        ScrollViewMain.Panel.AddView(PanelForScroll,0,5dip+i*PanelHeight,100%x,PanelHeight)
       
        lblField.Initialize("lblField")
        'The first entry in the list is for the title, so do not treat it the same
        If i = 0 Then
            PanelForScroll.AddView(lblField,2%x, 5dip, 95%x, 40dip)
            lblField.TextSize=30
            lblField.Left = 35%x
            lblField.Text= DBFields.Get(i)
        Else If i = DBFields.Size Then
            'Add buttons at the bottom
            'Dim btnScrollSave As Button
            btnScrollSave.Initialize("btnScrollSave")
            PanelForScroll.AddView(btnScrollSave,2%x, 10dip, 95%x, 40dip)
            btnScrollSave.TextSize = 20
            btnScrollSave.Text = "Save"
            btnScrollSave.Left = 0%x
            btnScrollSave.Width = 45%x
        Else
            PanelForScroll.AddView(lblField,2%x, 5dip, 45%x, 40dip)
            lblField.TextSize=20
            lblField.Text= DBFields.Get(i)
        End If
       
        edtField.Initialize("edtfield")
        'Again, the first field should be excluded for an edtField
        If Not (i = 0) Then
            If i = DBFields.Size Then
                'Deal with buttons
                Dim btnScrollCancel As Button
                btnScrollCancel.Initialize("btnScrollCancel")
                PanelForScroll.AddView(btnScrollCancel,50%x, 10dip, 45%x, 40dip)
                btnScrollCancel.TextSize = 20
                btnScrollCancel.Text = "Cancel"
                btnScrollCancel.Left = 50%x
                btnScrollCancel.Width = 45%x
            Else
                PanelForScroll.AddView(edtField,50%x, 5dip, 45%x, 40dip)
                EditList.Add(edtField)
            End If
        End If
    Next
    'Actually add the view now
    ScrollViewMain.Panel.Height=PanelNb*PanelHeight
End Sub

Sub btnScrollSave_Click
    Debugger("Entering btnScrollSave_Click")
    'Save all of the data
    Dim foo As String
'PROBLEM HERE I see the text, but it is buried under
'edtlist > Array > 1 > mText > mText > and then 0 contains the first character, 1 for the next etc
    foo = EditList.Get(1)
 
End Sub

How do I get "foo" to be the input from the edit text field? Is my approach to this incorrect?

Thanks,
Patrick

You should use CustomListView class.
