Can’t save in SharedPreferences values instead I get : D/InputMethodManager: showSoftInput fail

I am stuck for a few hours and can’t find a solution (at least not for my level) that works, so I am asking for your help. Again. I am trying to save some values given by a user from EditText boxes to SharedPreferences. For some reason, instead of : 1, 5 or whatever value I input, I receive this values :

view:androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText{b869139 VFED..CL. .F....ID 52,0-247,136 #7f0800a1 app:id/etTigPeZi}

The same java code is used in other app and works just fine. For some reason here doesn’t. I tryied to search for any mistakes I could have made but, well, I didn’t find any. Please have a look and if you can SAVE ME !
Thank you. Wish you all a Happy New Year, btw. Best regards, R.P.

Answer

TO get the string in an EditText you use editText.getText() not editText.toString(). The first gets the text entered by the user (or your app). The second gets a string representation of the edit text object.
