Hey,

I am trying to change text on the main.xml file: android:text=" Any text here", but it is not reflecting on the
emulator display. Instead, the text in the tv.setTextView(" Text" ); in the .java file gets displayed.

Can anyone suggest a resolve for this?

Thanks!

Hello sm. I hope I didn't misunderstand your question.

In general, almost any java code (such as tv.setTextView(" Text" )) will be executed after the view is inflated based on the xml parameters, so I would think that the text set at xml is in fact being displayed, but the text is changed programmatically immediately after that.

Try commenting this line

Regards,

Exactly!! Thats just what's happening. I just did that and its displaying now.

Your comments re-inforced my hunch

Thanks!

Hey,

XML layout files are not associated to any java file.

In the template application created by activityCreator or the Eclipse plugin, you should see a call to setContentView in the activity onCreate method.

What this does is set a layout (referenced by its R.layout id) as the content of the activity UI.

Any activity can use any layout as their content. Activities can share the same layout, or activities could dynamically change their content.

Thanks!
