Question

When I comment out counter and run it with message, it works fine. It will not display an integer though. During my research, I have found no difference between the example code to display a String versus displaying an integer. Perhaps there is a guide somewhere I can review? Or a simple answer would also be appreciated. Thanks.

package com.evorlor.testcode;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class SupWorld extends Activity {

    private String message;
    private int counter;

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        message = "Sup world.";
        counter = 123;

        TextView text = new TextView(this);

        text.setTextSize(100);
        text.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
        // text.setText(message);
        text.setText(counter);

        setContentView(text);

    }

}

It is the right way to do it.

text.setText(Integer.toString(counter));
