                AlertDialog.Builder(this).setView(mDialogView).setTitle("ADD TODO").setPositiveButton("Save"){
                        dialogInterface, i ->
                    val todoTitle = R.id.et_dialog_add.toString()
                    if(todoTitle.isNotEmpty()) {
                        val todo = Todo(todoTitle)

</EditText>

here is adapters:

    todos.add(todo)
    notifyItemInserted(todos.size -1)
}

CodePudding user response：

This is your problem:

val todoTitle = R.id.et_dialog_add.toString()

This is not how you get the text value from an EditText field. You need to first use findViewById() to get a reference to the EditText, and then you can use its text property to get what the user entered:

val todoTitleView = mDialogView.findViewById<EditText>(R.id.et_dialog_add)
val todoTitle = todoTitleView.text
