Whats wrong with my code? I used ClassName instead of variable name? BTW I want to create an EditText for my quiz with an answer - android-edittext

Question

I get the text
"Error:(45, 37) error: non-static method getText() cannot be referenced from a static context"
Did I use ClassName instead of variable name?
I want to create an EditText for my quiz where the user has to put in the answer, how do I do that?
Thank you for your help
package com.example.android.myquizapp2;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.RadioGroup;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void getResults(View view) {
/*
Code for answers
*/
boolean answerArray[];
answerArray = new boolean[10];
RadioButton answer = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.answerOne);
answerArray[0] = answer.isChecked();
answer = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.question22group);
answerArray[1] = answer.isChecked();
answer = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.question13group);
answerArray[2] = answer.isChecked();
answer = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.question14group);
answerArray[4] = answer.isChecked();
CheckBox answerCheckBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.taipei);
answerArray[5] = answerCheckBox.isChecked();
EditText answerEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.question01group);
answerArray[6] = answerEditText.isTextSelectable();
This is where I have my mistake(I get the text
"Error:(45, 37) error: non-static method getText() cannot be referenced from a static context")
String UserAnswer = EditText.getText().trim();
Boolean truth = UserAnswer.equals(answerEditText);
/*
Score
*/
int score = calculateScore(answerArray);
displayScore(calculateScore(answerArray));
if (score == 5)
score = 'A';
if (score == 4)
score = 'B';
else if (score == 3)
score = 'C';
else if (score == 2)
score = 'D';
else if (score == 1)
score = 'E';
else
score = 'F';
System.out.println("Score: " + score + " score: " + score);
}
private int calculateScore(boolean scoreArray[]) {
int Score = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (scoreArray[i]) {
Score = Score + 1;
}
}
return Score;
}
/*
I wrote return Score instead of methodScore
*/
/*
Method score on screen
*/
private void displayScore(int finalScore) {
Toast scoreMessage = Toast.makeText(this, "Good job!" + finalScore, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
scoreMessage.show();
}
/*

public void correctAnswers(View view) {
ScrollView scrollToTop = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.mainScrollView);
scrollToTop.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_UP);
RadioGroup choiceGroup = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.question1group);

you need to take EditText object like answerEditText.getText().toString().trim(); instead of calling the class name
