android dynamic generate edittext and use its values -

my app. has button if it's presses 2 edittext fields apear , , if it's pressed again 2 other edittext fields apear , on. want save data in fields in arraylist (or structure) sample of code 1- edittext field apears:

<edittext  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"      android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:minheight="50dp" 

, mainacvtivity code :

linearlayout llayout; arraylist<string> marray = new arraylist<string>(); int numberofboxes = 2;  @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);     final layoutinflater  inflater = (layoutinflater)getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);     llayout = (linearlayout)findviewbyid(r.id.layout1);      final edittext addedudate = (edittext)inflater.inflate(r.layout.text, null);     final edittext addeduinfo = (edittext)inflater.inflate(r.layout.text, null);      button b2 = (button)findviewbyid(r.id.button2);      button b = (button)findviewbyid(r.id.button1);     b.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {           @override         public void onclick(view v) {             if (llayout.getchildat(numberofboxes) == null) {                  llayout.addview(addedudate);                 llayout.addview(addeduinfo);                  numberofboxes += 2;              }         }     }); 

if understand problem properly, simple

arraylist<string> list=new arraylist<string>(); list.add(addedudate.gettext().tostring()); 

should work.
