Question

I’m trying to set the text of a TextView in a layout using ViewPager. This is the code I have:

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter();
    ViewPager myPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.Panel);
    myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    myPager.setCurrentItem(0);

    String text;

    if (Math.floor(hours) <= 12)
        text= hourFormat.format((Math.floor(hours)));

    else
        text= hourFormat.format((Math.floor(hours) - 12));


    Typeface FontType = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"fonts/TIMES_SQ_0.TTF");

    View sResource = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.setup, null);
    Method = (TextView) sResource.findViewById(R.id.Method);
    Method.setTypeface(FontType);
    Method.setTextSize(20);
    Method.setText(text);

The ViewPager works fine, setting the font and size don’t work. Setting the text does not work either. I don’t know why setText doesn’t work. Also, that text is dynamic so I can’t use a resource string to set it.

To clarify: hours is the hour of the day.

Well in this piece of code you initialize text but never assign any value to it.

String text;

...

Method.setText(text);

Do something like:

String text;

...

text = "my text";    

Method.setText(text);

Or if you assign it elsewhere, just remove String text;
