Original question is as follows in the text box it should display 1 + 2 and upon clicking equal it should display the sum. With three values there are many combination 1+1,2+3+3, 1+3+3 .... but it is not working please help? the codes are not complete i'm just testing it with just three values and the addition operation

myCodes:

what is the button you are clicking, what is your expected result, and what is your actual result?

if i click 1 + 2 then i click = it gives me 3 but if i continue to add like + 2 and i click = it crashes. Also if i do 3+3+3 and i click = the program crashes. So i want my program to be able to perform addition correctly whatever combination i use either 2+3+3+3 or 1+1+1+2 and when i press = the answer should be correct i'm stuck on this part. Hope it helps to understand my problem

quite a lot wrong with your code, besides the fact that you are using horrible names and types.
don't load "3" in a String, if you know that it's supposed to be a numerical value you want to perform calculations on, use a numerical type, like Integer.
also, give your variables meaningful names. btnAdd is not the name you should give to a numerical value, but to a button.
following mistake (quite a big one)

if(btnAdd != null)
        {
            if(btn_val1 != null && btn_val2 != null )
            {

since you never re-set the values of these, if you click another button in the next calculation, it'll still take these two.
