Issues storing data into Parse - Using TextView

Question

I have received the following unexpected error while trying to run my activity:

Invalid type for value: class android.widget.TextView

Essentially I am trying to store data into Parse.com, where a user would select their calendar date and time through button clicks, and where the date and time selected would be recorded and shown into two TextViews that is displayed to them (Date and Time). Now I want to grab the TextViews information and record it into parse.

Below is the logcat message:

currentUser.put("ActivityDate", txtDate); 
currentUser.put("ActivityTime", txtTime);

Above two lines require ("key",value) pair.As you are passing only the TextView widget its causing exception.

Replace your line with these

currentUser.put("ActivityDate", txtDate.getText().toString()); 
currentUser.put("ActivityTime", txtTime.getText().toString());

EDIT For Validation of your textView do this in your onclick method:

mConfirm2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if(txtDate.getText().toString().length()>0 && txtTime.getText().toString().length() >0 ){
            ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();

         // Create the class and the columns
            currentUser.saveInBackground();

            currentUser.put("ActivityDate", txtDate); 
            currentUser.put("ActivityTime", txtTime);
            currentUser.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
                @Override
                public void done(ParseException e) {
                    setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);

                    if (e == null) {
                        // Success!

                    }
                    else {

                    }
             }
         });
       }else{
               Toast t = t.makeText(context,"Please fill all the details !",Toast.Length_LONG);
                t.setGravity(Gravity.center,0,0);
                t.show();


        }
    });

Thank you for your prompt answer. Would there be a way for me to set a condition where unless the textViews date and time have been set, the confirm button would not take the user to the next activity page, because initially when the activity loads what is displayed in the two textviews are hints like select your date, and select your time, which obviously I would not want to record blank information into parse

Thank you for your prompt response. I seem to be receiving the following error: Syntax error on token "else", delete this token, I tried moving the curly braces around, but I am assuming that it is a formatting issue. else{ Toast t = t.makeText(context,"Please fill all the details !",Toast.Length_LONG);

Toast t = Toast.makeText(ScheduleMatchOptionActivity.this ,"Please fill all the details !",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
