Question

So for an application I am developing, I want to use sharedpreferences to save data, in this case I want to save wich languege the user chooses. This is done by A number, it will save this but when I try to work with this value on my menu page it crashes all the time

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_menu);
    Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
    Button button3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
    Button button4 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button4);
    Button button5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button5);
    SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    int taal=sp.getInt("taal", 4);
    if(taal==1){
        String tekst="Nieuw Spel";
        button1.setText(tekst);
        //button1.setText("Nieuw Spel");
        //button2.setText("Statestieken");
        //button3.setText("Opties");
        //Languege.MenuText(button1, button2, button3, taal);
        button1.setText(taal);
        button4.setVisibility(Button.GONE);
        button5.setVisibility(Button.GONE);
    }

And this comes back for the error butt I really don’t find where I’m doing something wrong

Answer 1

Change

button1.setText(taal);

So it is

button1.setText(String.valueOf(taal));

By passing an integer (taal), Android attempts to find a resource id and fails.
