Question

I’d like to try to set string array as text of the textview. How can I do that?

Below is what I’ve tried so far:

String[] word = { "Pretty", "Cool", "Weird" };

tv.setText( word.length );

But it’s throwing some errors. I’m new to Android/Java

word.length gives you length of the array, not the content. You mean to set the content to tv. You can use Arrays#toString method: –

String[] word = { "Pretty", "Cool", "Weird" };

// Prints [Pretty, Cool, Weird]
tv.setText(Arrays.toString(word));   

// Prints Pretty, Cool, Weird
tv.setText(Arrays.toString(word).replaceAll("\\[|\\]", ""));
