Is there anyway you can typecast or convert the EditText input into a string? I'm trying to write a simple is palindrome app for android. In java I just had it cut the string in half, compare each half, then return true or false. If it returned true it would print "Yes, it is a palindrome"

Try getText().toString(), I'm assuming you know how to cut the string after that.

Yes I do, I'll give it a try. thanks dv297
