Question

 final LinearLayout ll=new LinearLayout(this);
 ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
 scrl.addView(ll);
 Button add_btn=new Button(this);
 add_btn.setText("Click to add TextViiews and EditTexts");
 ll.addView(add_btn);
 add_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View v) {
 //String str;
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv1);    
 EditText et2=new EditText(getApplicationContext());
 String s=et2.getText().toString();
tv.setText(s);
 ll.addView(et2);

I have created a button when i click on this button i will get edittext dynamically if i enter a value i should display the value I don't know how to display value and make use of it if suppose i want to add entered values in dynamically created edit text.

I have created a button when i click on this button i will get edit text dynamically if i enter a value it should take the value into some variable it should display the value i have used textview to display but i am unable to get the values and display. — SANJEEV REDDY

You cannot get text if you haven't added the view.Also you add textview on click of button. You can remove textview creation from onClick() and add it outside of it

EDIT(something like this):

   final LinearLayout ll=new LinearLayout(this);
   ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
   scrl.addView(ll);
   Button add_btn=new Button(this);
   add_btn.setText("Click to add TextViiews and EditTexts");
   ll.addView(add_btn);
   add_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String s=et2.getText().toString();
            tv.setText(s);
         }
    });
   TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv1);    
   EditText et2=new EditText(getApplicationContext()); 
   ll.addView(et2);
