How To Set Text In An EditText

If you check the docs for EditText, you'll find a setText() method. It takes in a String and a TextView.BufferType. For example:

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
editText.setText("This sets the text.", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);

It also inherits TextView's setText(CharSequence) and setText(int) methods, so you can set it just like a regular TextView:

editText.setText("Hello world!");
editText.setText(R.string.hello_world);

String string="this is a text";
editText.setText(string)

I have found String to be a useful Indirect Subclass of CharSequence

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html find setText(CharSequence text)

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/CharSequence.html

if you are using kotlin then it is gonna give you error if you are doing it like

editText.text = "some string"

just use it like

editText.setText("some string")

String text = "Example";
EditText edtText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtText);
edtText.setText(text);

Check it out EditText accept only String values if necessary convert it to string.

If int, double, long value, do:

String.value(value);
