copied!<p>Looking at that code, the issue might be with how you are initializing name and search.</p> <p>Change your code:</p> <pre><code>name = (EditText) findViewById(getResources().getIdentifier("etName", "id", getPackageName())); search = (Button) findViewById(getResources().getIdentifier("btnSearch", "id", getPackageName())); </code></pre> <p>to this:</p> <pre><code>name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etName); search = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSearch); </code></pre> <p>Also, add a TextView to display your answer into your <code>main.xml</code> file, give it an id (let's say display for example) <code>android:id="@+id/display"</code> and then add it to your activity so you can change it:</p> <pre><code>display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display); </code></pre> <p>and then you can update it by calling:</p> <pre><code>display.setText('some text'); </code></pre> <p>Thus the start of your file should look like this:</p> <pre><code>public class WalmartActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ EditText name; Button search; TextView display; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etName); search = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSearch); display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display); .... </code></pre> <p>Next update your <code>if</code> statements from:</p> <pre><code>if (name.equals("Electronics")) </code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>if (name.getText().toString().equals("Electronics")) { display.setText("something"); } </code></pre> <p>An example piece of code:</p> <p>Demo2Activity.java</p> <pre><code>package com.demo1; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.TextView; public class Demo2Activity extends Activity { private Button button; private EditText editText; private TextView textView; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main2); button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button); editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textText); button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (editText.getText().toString().equals("Electronics")) { textView.setText("found"); } } }); } } </code></pre> <p>main2.xml</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="main2.xml" android:id="@+id/textText" /> <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/editText"/> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="button" /> </LinearLayout> </code></pre>
