title: EditText editable but getText() return empty string
body: <p>I'm trying to make a simple messaging system in my app. The user type the message in an <code>EditText</code>at the bottom of the screen. Somehow, the <code>EditText</code>that's displayed on the screen isn't actually the one that I get using <code>findViewById()</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I tried adding default value to the <code>EditText</code>in the xml and it works. But if I change the default text, the text on the screen changes but <code>editText.getText()</code>still returns the default value. <code>editText.setText()</code> doesn't change the text displayed on the screen but does change the actual value (<code>editText.getText()</code> returns the new text).</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code:</p>
  
  <p>fragment_message.xml</p>

  <p>TLDR:
  in <code>messageFragment.java</code>, the <code>EditText</code> value(.getText()) is different (empty string "") than what actually typed in the <code>EditText</code>. 
  <code>setText()</code>doesn't change the appearance of the <code>EditText</code>but does change the result of <code>getText()</code></p>
