          After you have formatted it in XML:



          <EditText
          android:id="@+id/edittextid"
          android:inputType="text" >


          You can call it by declaring it and linking it to the view you specified in the XML like so:



          EditText et = (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.edittextid);


          You can get more info on the class here

            Is more or less works like this:



            EditText et = new EditTex(context);


            where the context is e.g. the Activity that hosts the EditText.
            In practice you may want to do some customizing and then attach it to an existing layout like e.g.



            EditText et = new EditText(getActivity());
            et.setTextAppearance(getActivity(),R.style.table_cell); // add some style
            et.setTag(name); // add a tag

            if(PropertyType.isNumeric(spd.getType()))
            et.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL); // Input are numbers only


            if (spd.getDefaultValue()!=null)
            et.setText(""+spd.getDefaultValue()); // set a default text to be displayed

            row.addView(et); // add it to a parent

            • The context needs to be set by someone (e.g. getActivity() as in my longer example (which was from within a Fragment), via using the current activity as context ('this') or via getApplicationContext(). Activity inherits from Context. So whenever you a Context is needed and you have an Activity around, you can use the activity for this.
