Question

I am facing an issue of having a screen which gets an id from the SharedPreferences and then I call a remote database, and then I have to display that data on the screen.

Is it possible to do that with ViewText or is there another way to place text on the screen after a remote db call is made?

Whats the best way to do that and how do I accomplish it?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

The logic would that I would use is to build your screen in XML and have a Textview named myTextView

in your activity declare a Textview

TextView name_field;

String name;
....
.
.
.

//call my database info 
//this example get a variable and pass it into String variable name and then display it in your text view

name_field = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
name_field.setText(name);
