Question

I have multiple buttons on the same activity each invoking the method “guessMade()” when they are clicked.

Every time a button is clicked, I would like to set the name of that button as the message that is going to be displayed in a TextView. Needless to say, TextView is also already created.

My code is as follows:

public void guessMade(View view){
    CharSequence s = ((Button)view).getText();
    TextView t = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    t.setText(s);
}

Where do I fail ?

Answer 1

there is probably something wrong with your variable “s”.

try replacing

t.setText(s);

with

t.setText("hello");

and see if it works.
