title: How to save the content of a EditText into a String? Android
body: <p>I have already tried with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>EditText edText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
  String str = edText1.getText().toString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only get numbers but not characters.
  How can I get the EditText text in order to put it on a string and manipulate it?</p>
