I am not sure what you mean get text from imageview. I assume you want to extract text on a image in android. To do that you require a OCR- Optical Character recognizer.

I suggest have look at this link Is there any free OCR library for Android?.

Also download this and modify the same according to your needs. https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR.

Android OCR using tess-two a fork of tesseract.
