title: EditText Not Reading Input in Android
body: <p>The problem in EditText is, it is not returning the input value.I am using that input value to check condition.</p>
  
  <p>I am giving the correct input so that i checks the if condition and go to next activity but
  it always goes to else condition.</p>
  
  <p>Please check the code below, i had commented the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the snippet</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class BuildWord extends Activity
  {
  String word = "word";
  String finished = "Word Built";
  
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.buildword);
  
      EditText get = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.dataToSend);
      String getdata = get.getText().toString(); //Here i am getting Data from EditText
  
      displayIntentData();
  
      if (getdata.equals("word")) 
  
      //Here i am checking with "word" but it goes to else condition.I am typing "word" only
      {
          findViewById(R.id.sendButton1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
          {   
              public void onClick(View v) 
              {
                  Intent intent = new Intent(BuildWord.this,MainActivity.class);
                  intent.putExtra("key", word);
                  startActivity(intent);
  
              }
          });
      }
      else
      {
          findViewById(R.id.sendButton1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
          {   
              public void onClick(View v) 
              {
                  Intent intent = new Intent(BuildWord.this,DropCard.class);
                  intent.putExtra("key", finished);
                  startActivity(intent);                  
              }
          });
      }
  }
  
  @Override
  protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) 
  {
      super.onNewIntent(intent);
      setIntent(intent);
      displayIntentData();
  }
  
  private void displayIntentData()
  {
      Intent intent = getIntent();
      TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.intentData1);
      Bundle extras=intent.getExtras();
  
      if(extras!=null)
      {
          tv.setText("Data received: "+extras.getString("key"));
      }
      else
      {
          tv.setText("No extradata received");
      }
  }
