EDITTEXT EXAMPLE IN ANDROID STUDIO

An EditText in XML layout in Android Studio can be used to allow the user to enter text into your app. Here’s how to use it:

1. Add the EditText to your layout XML file.
2. Set the layout_width and layout_height properties to control the size of the EditText. You can set layout_width to match_parent to make the EditText fill the width of its parent view, or set it to a specific value in pixels or dp to control the width. You can set layout_height to wrap_content to make the EditText the same size as its content, or set it to a specific value in pixels or dp to control the height.
3. Set the hint property to specify the text that should be displayed when the EditText is empty, to give the user a hint about what they should enter.
4. You can also set additional properties, such as inputType to control the type of text that can be entered (e.g. numbers, email, password), textColor to control the color of the text, and textSize to control the size of the text.

Here’s an example of an EditText in XML layout in Android Studio that allows the user to enter text and sets its size to fill the width of its parent view:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter text here" />

Note: To access the text entered by the user in your code, you can use the getText() method on the EditText object. For example:

EditText myEditText = findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text);
String enteredText = myEditText.getText().toString();

That’s it! You can now run your app and see the EditText displayed in the layout. The user can enter text into the EditText, and you can access the entered text in your code.
