This code, with the block at the top commented, runs successfully:

```java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    /*
    EditText username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Username);
    EditText password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Password);
    TextView inputdata = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_InputData);
    TextView welcome = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_Welcome);
    Button login=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button_Login);
    Button anotherLogin=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button_Login_Another);
    */

    public void doLoginOnClick(View v)
    {
        String s1=username.getText().toString();
        inputdata.setText(s1);
    }

    @Override

I am trying to capture id of component using

`findViewById(R.id.***)`

as you can see, I put this code in comment at the very beginning of the code.

```
EditText username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Username);
EditText password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Password);
TextView inputdata = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_InputData);
TextView welcome = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_Welcome);
Button login=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button_Login);
Button anotherLogin=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button_Login_Another);

```

If I remove the comment above and run it (both in emulator and real device), the program crashes immediately, I am surprised what's wrong here?

even I have tried to initialize the same thing using constructor.

But if I put it inside `onCreate()` there's no crash? Why?

I was trying to fetch info of username and password and display it to the textview in `textView_Inputdata` using

```
EditText username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Username);
EditText password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_Password);
TextView inputdata = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_InputData);
inputdata.setText(username.getText.toString()+" "+password.getText.toString());

```

Is there better or easier way to do that?
