Question

I’m trying to have a url path display in a text view and marquee it on screen. But for some reason its no displaying. I’m think my code is correct.

Where i’m getting the url and coverting to string (this is in a service):

String path = ((PlaylistFile)playlistItems.get(currentPlaylistltemNumber)).getFilePath();
                        Log.d(TAG, "got the path");
                        //String[] path2 = path.split("/");
                        Log.d(TAG, "split the path");
                        artistInfoBOJ = path;
                        Log.d(TAG, "set to artist info boj");

I then create my text view in another class and link it to the text:

//artist info stuff
    this.textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.artistViewBOJ);
    Log.d(TAG,"create the text view");
    //textView.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(-1);
    test = BOJAudioService.artistInfoBOJ;
    Log.d(TAG, "set test = to string");
    textView.setText(test);
    Log.d(TAG,"set text to text view");

what appears in my log cat:

08-04 12:22:44.574: DEBUG/BOJAudioActivity(17287): create the text view
08-04 12:22:44.574: DEBUG/BOJAudioActivity(17287): set test = to string

08-04 12:22:45.574: DEBUG/BOJAudioService(17287): set to artist info boj

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Change

Log.d(TAG, "set test = to string");

to

Log.d(TAG, "set test = to " + test);

to see what test is
