Get value from TextField after creating it on Codename one designer

[nas...@gmail.com]

I am using IDE: NetBeans. I have created a text field using Codename one designer. To get the value typed into the text field I named "NumTwo" I used the following java code which always works for my previous projects:

String num1 = Num1.getText();

Am getting an error that "cannot find symbol: variable Num1" . How am I supposed to declare the variable from the Codename one designer into NetBeans?

Please help...

Anyone at least point me the right direction if maybe my question is too amateur for this forum so I may dig up my answer for myself from there.

You can always get an instance of currently showing component you added with codenameone designer like this

TextField textF = findNum1();

so you can have

String num1 = findNum1().getText();

there is also

findNum1(Component root)

 This take a parent container or form of textfield as argument. Read more in the developers' guide

Good Luck

FYI use findNum1(cmp) rather than findNum1() which might lead to undesired consequences.
