Scanner method for scanning typed text in application

Question

does any know how I should to decalre and initialize the Scanner method for scan typed text in the application?

When you want to scan your own text, that you type with your own Keyboard, you have to use (System.in). But what have to stand in the brackets, when you want to scan what anybody type in the application

If you're coming from Java and asking how to read user input. I suggest you visit this beginner tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Android/article.html — Shaishav, Aug 06 '16 at 18:19

Here you can read text inside edittext.

public class RateListActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public EditText et_Name;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_rate_list);
        et_Name = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_Name);

        String name = et_Name.getText().toString();
    } 
}
