import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText mFirstNameEt, mLastNameEt;
    Button mSaveBtn;
    TextView mFirstNameTv, mLastNameTv;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mFirstNameEt = findViewById(R.id.f_name_et);
        mLastNameEt  = findViewById(R.id.l_name_et);
        mFirstNameTv = findViewById(R.id.f_name_tv);

        mSaveBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                //get text from edit text
                String mFName = mFirstNameEt.getText().toString().trim();
                String mLName = mLastNameEt.getText().toString().trim();

                //validate Edit Text
                if (mFName.isEmpty()){
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Enter first name", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else if (mLName.isEmpty()){
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Enter last name", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
