Question

We have a bigger Android 2.1 project, and for some reason, only at two places calling setText() on an EditText or a TextView object just doesn’t work. It does not crashes, does not throw an exception, only the TextView/EditText is not updating.

Here’s the code for setting the text:

EditText etzip_a = (EditText)activity.findViewById(R.id.editTextZip_a);
etzip.setText(m_addressA.zip);
etzip.addTextChangedListener(new onInputChanged(120));

• this code runs on the GUI thread
• it parses the R.id.editTextZip_a object successfully from the layout
• a totally similar code for other tens of EditText are working fine

Does anybody encountered a problem like this?

Answer 1

try using this code:

You have create a object etzip_a of the EditText. Now after that you are using different object etzip.

EditText etzip_a = (EditText)activity.findViewById(R.id.editTextZip_a);
etzip_a.setText(m_addressA.zip);
etzip_a.addTextChangedListener(new onInputChanged(120));
