have you tried: "="? i.e.:-

String oldString = "odl Text";
String newString = oldString;

Simple steps can be:

get text from EditText as string
assign that to some other string variable.

Provide some more information to get better solutions. What problem are you facing?

@sameer: Whats the problem in that? Use = operator to do this.

here is my code txtpassword=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.Editpassword); String strEditText; strEditText=txtpassword.text; if(txtpassword==AdminPwdHandler.strCurrentPassword). here strCurrentPassword is a string variable from another class

@sameer: do you get any error while running this? see log cat to know if error comes or not.

String s1 = "..";
String s2 = s1;

In regard to EditText - its getText() method returns a CharSequence, that is not necessarily a String. You can use .toString() on it.
