Answer 1

Depending on where you want it to be displayed, you will need to do this at runtime.

//Assign textview and call it tv
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);


Intent intent = getIntent();
    String str = intent.getStringExtra("name");

//set tv text to str
tv.setText(str);

Hope that helps
