Android Question phone number from edit text

[hookshy]

I can not read phone number "07233994949" from edit text because it returns everything without the leading "0" , the resulted string is "7233994949"

Dim PhoneNum As String
PhoneNum = etPhoneNum.Text <--- et = EditText

will return all characters.

You probably assigned the value of the EditText to a numeric variable.

.

'typeface default ...wrap on
  edit_reply.SetLayout(5dip,5dip,pnl_reply.Width-55dip,40dip)
        Dim cd As ColorDrawable
        cd.Initialize2(Colors.White,10dip,2dip,Main.temar)
        edit_reply.Background=cd
        edit_reply.Padding=Array As Int(50dip,3dip,10dip,3dip)
        edit_reply.TextSize=Main.htext
        edit_reply.InputType=edit_reply.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT

dim data as map
data.initialise
        If edit_reply.Text.StartsWith("0") Then
            Dim s As Object
            s = edit_reply.Text
            data.Put("content",s) 'does not work as well
        Else
            data.Put("content",edit_reply.Text) 'the same result 0 is trimed
        end if

do not understand

This should work:

data.Put("content",edit_reply.Text) 'the same result 0 is trimed

Anyway, use a string variable:

Dim PhoneNum As String = edit_reply.Text

then add it to the map.
