Somewhere in your code: protected EditText editInput; .... editInput = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Port); .... editPort.setText("your String"); or in your layout xml file: For example you would add to the section <EditText a text attribute <EditText android:id="@+id/username_edit" android:text="NAME" <======================================== /// Add this android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_marginRight="20dip" android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:autoText="false" android:capitalize="none" android:gravity="fill_horizontal" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> With doing this you should see the default text. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
