how to clear EditText in Android?

Question

I am developing an android app. Here I need to set values in some EditText. Then I have to clear all. How can I do this? The EditData.java code are given below:

    morning = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.morning);
    noon = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.noon);
    afternoon = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.afternoon);
    night = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.night);
    before_meal = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.before_meal);
    after_meal = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.after_meal);
    hourly = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.hourly);
    days = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.days);

    morning.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(0)));

    noon.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(1)));

    afternoon.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(2)));

    night.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(3)));

    before_meal.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(4)));

    after_meal.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(5)));

    hourly.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(6)));

    days.setText(String.valueOf(scheduleTime.charAt(7)));

Use `editText.getText().clear()`. – Nabin Bhandari Oct 19 '17 at 10:54 — Nabin Bhandari, Oct 19 '17 at 10:54
or else you can do it like editText.setText(" "); – Harish Penta Oct 19 '17 at 10:57 — Harish Penta, Oct 19 '17 at 10:57

    android:text="@string/ClearButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
