EditText Settext not working with Fragment

android, android-edittext

Solution

The EditText appears to have an issue with resetting text in `onCreateView`. So the solution here is to reset the text in `onResume`. This works.

Also there's an issue in onActivityCreated. I reset edittext's content in onStart and it works. [credits to @savepopulation]

Problem

I have fragments for 3 states of a screen; Add, Edit and View. In Add, I create an entity and save it. Next time I open it in View mode and set the entity name using ``` EditText entityName = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.entityName); entityName.setText(entity.getEntityname()); ``` I click on the edit button from View mode to open the Edit mode. I change the entity name here and save it. This brings me back to the view screen. But I find the entity name is not updated. I debug and found that `entity.getEntityname()` is having correct value. I am not sure why the edit text does not take new value. Any ideas? Note: I am using android version 2.2
