How to add values entered in textbox ,surrounded by apex:repeat as shown <apex:repeat ><apex:inputtext/></apex:repeat> to the list in controller

Hi all,

Here I am using Custom controller. 

Since there are 5  records in  mappingList  .It is showing 5 textboxes.How can I add the text entered in textboxes to List.
I am getting only the last value in controller.Here I dontknow how to add these values to array....
<apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:repeat value="{!mappingsList}" var="a">
         
         <apex:inputText value="{!textarray}" id="in"/><br/>
    </apex:repeat>
   <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!myaction}"/>
</apex:pageblock>

Hello Jyothsna,

You need to add {!a} in your inputText
<apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:repeat value="{!mappingsList}" var="a">
         <apex:inputText value="{!a}" id="in"/><br/>
    </apex:repeat>
   <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!myaction}"/>
</apex:pageblock>

Thank you

Hello Jyothsna,

Can you tell me how the mappingsList is defined in controller?

Thank you

Hi ,
MappinList  method definition is here.Plz have a glance
public List<Contact> mapLs{get;set;}
public List<Contact> getMappingList(){
     mapLs=[SELECT Name From Contact Limit 5];
    return mapLs;
}

So its a list of contacts, ok. 

I would suggest you to go through the Force.com Fundamentals and workbooks once. 

For your problem though, 

Not sure if there is a setter method in your controller if you dont have one please add one 

public void setMappingList(List<Contact> value){
      this.mapLs = value;
}

Another issue with your SOQL is name is a read only field on Contact, instead you would need to update firstname and lastname.

public List<Contact> getMappingList(){
     mapLs=[SELECT Name, FirstName, LastName From Contact Limit 5];
    return mapLs;
}

In your Visualforce page now, you can write something like this
<apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:repeat value="{!mappingList}" var="a">
         <apex:inputText value="{!a.FirstName}" id="firstName"/>&nbsp;
         <apex:inputText value="{!a.LastName}" id="lastName"/><br/>
    </apex:repeat>
   <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!myaction}"/>
</apex:pageblock>

Please make sure its mappingList vs mappingsList as I have seen in your first comment you mentioning it as mappingsList


Hope this helps.

Thank you

Actually,I dont  want to use "a.firstname "here as a value
<apex:inputtext value="{!textarray}" rendered="if(a.firstName=='sai',true,false)"/>
so whenever firstname is sai then only this text box will display and whatever I entered here I want it to add to array
