Can I have the same EditText box on several Tab screens?
<p>I am using three tabs for my application, with each tab showing a number of edittext boxes used for user input. For user convenience, I have some of the same edittext boxes on each screen so that the user doesn't have to go back to tab1 just to enter a value. For example, I have an edittext box on all three tab screens asking for the user's age. I have named the edittext boxes age1 on the tab1 screen, age2 on the tab2 screen, and age3 on the tab3 screen. Then I use code to read which of the three boxes have a value in it, I copy that value ionto the other two edittext boxes.</p>

<p>Is there a way to keep the same edittext box name in all three screens so that a value typed in one shows up in all three, and a single value can be retrieved with a single age.getValue() command?  </p>
