    private edittext textname;     private edittext textcontent;     private spinner categoryspinner;       @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_text);            configurebutton1();         configurebutton2();          textname = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.edittextname);         textcontent = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.editcontent);         categoryspinner = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.editcategoryspinner);        }      private void configurebutton1() {         button del = (button)findviewbyid(r.id.btnewtext);         del.setonclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {             @override             public void onclick(view v) {                 intent myintent = new intent(v.getcontext(), startactivity.class);                 v.getcontext().startactivity(myintent);             }         });     }      private void configurebutton2() {         button save = (button) findviewbyid(r.id.btsave);          save.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {             @override             public void onclick(view v) {                 if (textname.gettext().length() == 0) {                     textname.requestfocus();                     return;                 } else if (textcontent.gettext().length() == 0) {                     textcontent.requestfocus();                     return;                 } else if (categoryspinner.**gettext**().length() == 0) {                     categoryspinner.requestfocus();                     return;                 } else {                     //next step: mood                     intent myintent = new intent(v.getcontext(), activity2.class);                 myintent.putextra("textname", textname.gettext().tostring());                 myintent.putextra("textcontent", textcontent.gettext().tostring());                 myintent.putextra("categoryspinner", categoryspinner.**gettext()**.tostring());                 v.getcontext().startactivity(myintent);             }                 }             }         });         }
