Question

very strange. I have a layout resource, which besides others defines a text view:

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/txtSettingsXYMuteLbl" 
    android:text="@+id/txtSetXYMuteLabel"
    android:textSize="20sp" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:textColor="@color/colText" 
    android:gravity="left" 
    android:visibility="visible" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"> 
</TextView>

The text is definded in strings.xml as

<string name="txtSetXYMuteLabel">delta for no sound (sec)</string>

No manupulation of the text view takes place programmatically.

Interestingly enough the text view displays “false” wenn I run the app (device and emulator). Using any other string from strings.xml, such as

<string name="txtSeconds">Seconds</string>

leads to displaying “false” as well.
Only if I change the text to a hard coded

android:text="test"

the text view correctly displays “test” as expected.

An idea would be appreciated

Answer 1

Instead of this

android:text="@+id/txtSetXYMuteLabel"

try this

android:text="@string/txtSetXYMuteLabel"

Hope this help!!!
