I knew there was something that I missed. Thanks to all who shed light on this thread. Here's the final code for those newbies who may have the same problem.
package com.HelloWorld; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; public class Hello extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); // start code here // declare tv object by findViewByID final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01); // set TextView's text property to a new string upon launch of app tv.setText("This is sample."); // declare button object by findViewByID Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01); // Method if you click the button button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { // this is a pop up message then goes away after a short period of time Toast.makeText(Hello.this, "Hello World", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); // this changes the text in the TextView object to the said string tv.setText("Button Clicked"); } }); } } On Sep 1, 2:26 am, Filip Havlicek <havlicek.fi...@gmail.com> wrote: > You still need to specify the tv variable type (of course, think about > it!!!). > > TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01); > > Best regards, > Filip Havlicek > > 2010/9/1 rb <rbs...@gmail.com> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
