Display dynamic text in an Android view

Question

I'm pretty new to developing Android applications but I am attempting to display the score at the end of a game I am making.

I was planning on switching to a view using:

setContentView(R.layout.over);

And that seems to work but I want to display the score.

I defined a textView:

<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView02" android:id="@+id/TextView02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>

But would like to change the text to read: "Score: (dynamic text from variable here)". Obviously I need to reference that variable somehow, or set the text of the textView before changing to this view.

Please help!

Answer 1

That should solve your problem:

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView02);  
tv.setText("Text to set");

Why do u assign to text and id the same values?

Answer 2

Greg's Answer's pretty much what you want, but customized to what you are looking for:

 TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
 tv.setText("Score: "+scoreVariable);
