title: Converting TextView to String (kind of) Android
body: <p>I have an object on my main.xml layout file called thefact that is TextView. I also have a string called sharefact. I want to save what text is in the TextView into the sharefact string. I can't do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sharefact = thefact
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or anything similar to that because it would want me to convert sharefact into a textview.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
