Android - Set text to TextView

0 votes

I'm presently learning Android for a school project, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to dynamically set text to a TextView.

Here is my code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_enviar_mensaje);
    err = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.texto);
    err.setText("Escriba su mensaje y luego seleccione el canal.");
}

This is currently not working and I can't find a way to make it work...

Any help will be much appreciated... Thank you for the time, José.

EDIT: Here is the activity_enviar_mensaje.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...
    tools:context=".EnviarMensaje" >
    ...
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/texto"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/listaVista"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/listaVista"
        android:text="TextView" />
    ...
</RelativeLayout>

When I say something isn't working, I mean that the displayed text never changes.

After discovering the views, you set the content view. Setting the content view first is advised.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_connection_info);
    TextView ssid = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.ssid);
    TextView ip = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.ipaddr);

    ssid.setText(getSsid());
    ip.setText(getIpAddr());
}
