[android] how to get text from textview

if I have set text in textview in such way, which is not problem:

  tv.setText("" + ANS[i]);

this simply getting from this way.

     String a = tv.getText().toString();
     int A = Integer.parseInt(a);

But in case of setting value in textView.

 tv1.setText("  " + X[i] + "\n" + "+" + " " + Y[i]);

which is like this

              5
             +9

I have problem , this value how to get.

This question is related to android textview

The answer is


If it is the sum of all the numbers you want, I made a little snippet for you that can handle both + and - using a regex (I left some print-calls in there to help visualise what happens):

    final String string = "  " + 5 + "\n" + "-" + " " + 9+"\n"+"+"+" "+5; //Or get the value from a TextView
    final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(-?).?(\\d+)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);

    System.out.print(string);
    System.out.print('\n');
    int sum = 0;

    while( matcher.find() ){
        System.out.print(matcher.group(1));
        System.out.print(matcher.group(2));
        System.out.print('\n');
        sum += Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)+matcher.group(2));
    }
    System.out.print("\nSum: "+sum);

This code prints the following:

  5
- 9
+ 5
5
-9
5

Sum: 1

Edit: sorry if I misunderstood your question, it was a little bit unclear what you wanted to do. I assumed you wanted to get the sum of the numbers as an integer rather than a string.

Edit2: to get the numbers separate from each other, do something like this instead:

    final String string = "  " + 5 + "\n" + "-" + " " + 9+"\n"+"+"+" "+5; //Or get the value from a TextView
    final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(-?).?(\\d+)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);
    ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    while( matcher.find() ){
        numbers.add(Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1)+matcher.group(2)));
    }

You have to do the following:

a=a.replace("\n"," ");
a=a.trim();
String b[]=a.split("+");
int k=Integer.ValueOf(b[0]);
int l=Integer.ValueOf(b[1]);
int sum=k+l;

split with the + sign like this way

String a = tv.getText().toString();
String aa[];
if(a.contains("+"))
    aa = a.split("+");

now convert the array

Integer.parseInt(aa[0]); // and so on

Try Like this.

tv1.setText("  " + Integer.toString(X[i]) + "\n" + "+" + " " + Integer.toString(Y[i]));
