in app have textclock displaying current hour , want when click button value textclock , put in string variable. have this:

textclock time = (textclock) findviewbyid(r.id.horas); horas = time.gettext().tostring(); 

and in layout textclock this:

<textclock     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/horas"     android:textsize="30dp"     android:layout_below="@+id/space2"     android:layout_centerhorizontal="true" />
