How to set text of TextView ?
android, textview
Solution
I think the problem is you're actually putting an "Editable" in the intent, not a String. Although close, they're not the same thing. If you toString() your Editable to get a String object and put that in the intent, you should be able to get it back out with getString like you're doing.
Problem
I am facing a problem of setting the text to `TextView` in android my code is : ``` public class Main extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); final TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1); final String string = input.getText(); button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { text.setText(string); } }); } } ``` if I write ``` final Editable string = input.getText(); ``` then it works.....!!!! Now I want to send data of `EditText` to next `Activity` like this : ``` public class Main extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); final TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1); final Editable string = input.getText(); button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, Second.class); intent.putExtra("thetext", string); startActivity(intent); } }); } } ``` and in `Second.java` class I get `StringExtra` in this way: ``` public class Second extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.second); TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2); String string = getIntent().getExtras().getString("thetext", "not found"); text.setText(string); /// Here the text is not shown but the default message "not found" is set to `TextView` } } ``` Please give me way to proceed in development.
