how to set text to dynamically create edittext with string id

Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <item name="testEditText " type="id"/>
</resources>

final EditText testEditText = new EditText(getActivity());
testEditText.setId(R.id.testEditText);

I created a edittext dynamically but i cannot set text into it from another function.

EditText testEditText= (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.testEditText);

i tried to initialize it but it always return null.

Is there any way i can set and get value of testedittext from different function

findViewById() is expensive, why not just keep a reference to the EditText and pass that along since you are dynamically creating it? — Nyx

You can set any integer value in setId(). you have to set some unique values to differentiate with other dynamically created views.

so give like this.

testEditText.setId(1);

so you can use this id for onClickListner , onTouchListner etc...
