App crashes when getting input

With the exact code from SignUpActivity.java copied into my code, the app crashes when trying to call username.getText(). Any ideas as to why? Thank you.

Hi Tyler

Just a possible thing to consider, did you use toString() at the end of the method calls?

e.g. username.getText().toString();

it's just getText actually returns an editable not a string so if you try to store this as a string or use in an .equals() method you will get an error?
