Question

I’m new to android development and i’m trying to write something with background color which i set in the main.xml file/
My writing code is this

TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText(s);
setContentView(textView);

When I run the program the “setContentView” overwrite the background color, is there another way of writing which doesnt over write what written in the main.xml file?

Answer 1

you should have the TextView in your XML file and then reference your TextView like this

TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.id_of_your_textview);
