//Using EditText

EditText editText= (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);

//where Id of EditText in layout is editText if its different use that

String numAsString = editText.getText();

int num =Integer.parseInt(numAsString);

//do some math with num

Now output it using Toast as follows:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Result="+num, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
