The view you get passed in on onClick   is the Button you are looking for   public void onClick View v           1  Possibly check for instance of first      Button b    Button v      String buttonText   b getText   toString        1  If you are using a non-anonymous class as onClickListener  you may want to check for the type of the view before casting it  as it may be something different than a Button

In Kotlin   myButton setOnClickListener   doSomething  it as Button  text      Note  This gets the button text as a CharSequence  which more places in code can likely use  If you really want a String from there  then you can use  toString
