Question

I’m making a calculator-type application and it will have a resulting string that is generated by user-given inputs. This is my first android app, so I am not too familiar with the SDK. In main.xml I can make the static, non-changing strings, but how can I similarly display a string that can change and has no set value?

Answer 1

You just do it in your Java code. As you don’t provide any snippet of your code, let’s suppose you want to give text to the EditText that holds the calculations. In that case you will have to do this:

editText.setText(stringOfCalculation);

In this case, stringOfCalculation is an String that you have carefully formated by using the calculator buttons.
