Why is parseFloat not working properly?

Question

Java

Why is this code not working properly? parseFloat when getting a number from EditText.getText().toString() gives me 0.0 , although if I put just a string (for example, 1.1), everything works fine.

Non-working code:

EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText1);

String b = et.getText().toString();
float a = Float.parseFloat(b);
    
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        TextView text = findViewById(R.id.textView4);
        text.setText(String.valueOf(String.valueOf(a)));
    }
});

I replace it with just a string: and everything works fine. Why so?
float a = Float.parseFloat("1.1");

Check what returnset.getText().toString()
