title: Getting the value in EditText Android
body: <p>I am having a problem getting the value in the editText of my program. I set the value in a textView so that I can see if the code gets it. But unfortunately it displays something like this:</p>
  
  <p>android.widget.EditText@410e5a58 -> the number after @ sign changes every run in the emulator</p>
  
  <p>Why this happens? This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.ITax;
  
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.widget.Button;
  import android.widget.EditText;
  import android.widget.TextView;
