Question

I am making a new textview with this code:

    TextView score = new TextView (this);
    score.setTag("scoreteller");
    score.setHeight(25);
    score.setWidth(30);
    layout.addView(score);

Now my question is, how am I able to retrieve this textview later on, in a new method?

Not with the findViewById() method, because I don’t know it. If I add this sentence:

score.setId(9);

and then use findViewById(R.id.9) it gives an error: Syntax error on token “.9”, delete this token.

So how can I retrieve it to change it’s text?

Answer 1

You need to replace findViewById(R.id.9) with findViewById(9). You can also use findViewByTag("scoreteller");
