Answer 1

EditText txtDescription =
        (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.txtDescription);


String message = txtDescription.getText().toString(); 

Answer 2

Try this :

EditText edt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext);
String xyz = edt.getText().toString();

Answer 3

Solved the problem myself:

final EditText edittextDescription = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);

must be

final EditText edittextDescription =  (EditText)layout.findViewById(R.id.txtDescription);

And then I can do this to get the string

String s = edittext.getText().toString();
