I want to retrieve the values that I typed for id and password.

 With button is working 

	ButtonField valider = new ButtonField("Valider");
		add(valider);
		valider.setChangeListener(new FieldChangeListener() {

			public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
				id = user.getText();
				mp = pwd.getText();

				System.out.println(“-—testid--” + id);
				System.out.println(“-—testmp--” + mp);

					
			}
		});

But when I want to retrieve via MenuItem I have had a red cross for getText method.

 MenuItem Item1 = new MenuItem("Valider", 0, 0) {
			public void run() {
	 
				id= user.getText();
				mp= pwd.getText();
						System.out.println("----testid----" + id);
						System.out.println("----testmp----" + mp);
			}
		};


		protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
			menu.add(Item1);
			
			super.makeMenu(menu, instance);
		}

Where are user and pwd defined?  They could be out of scope of your MenuItem.

In fact I have already tested it. Certainly I don’t have red cross but isn’t not working also.

Ps: When I test with System.out.println() I don’t get back not even null.

Code inside of scope (constructor)

public class idclass extends MainScreen {

	public static String id;
	public static String mp;

	public idclass() throws IOException

	{
		super();

		LabelField title = new LabelField("id",
				LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
		
		final EditField user = new EditField("Login :", "", 15,
				EditField.FILTER_DEFAULT);
		
		add(log);

		

		final PasswordEditField pwd = new PasswordEditField("Password :", "");
		
		add(pwd);
	
				id = user.getText();
				system.out.println("----testid-----" + id);
				mp = pwd.getText();
				system.out.println("----testmp-----" + mp)

	}

	
	public boolean onClose() {
		Dialog.alert("Goodbye!");
		System.exit(0);
		return true;
	}

}

do u show me ur whole code?

[simon_hain · Accepted solution]

your fields are locally defined in the constructor.
define them in the class itself (below your static strings)

[welsenKiriono]

try to declare EditField user and PasswordEditField pw in global

public class idclass extends MainScreen {
  public static String id;
  public static String mp;
  private EditField user;
  private PasswordEditField pw;

 then you can instance this field in constructor, like

public idclass()
{
   user = new EditField("Username : ", LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
   pw = new PasswordEditField("Password :", "");
   add(user);
   add(pw);

 then, you can use menu for getting the content of user and pw

if u write menuItem In constructor then put it outside but in class and make title and user globally.
