Kotlin: How to get and set a text to TextView in Android using Kotlin?

Question

I'm newbie.

I want to change text of TextView While click on it.

My code:

val text: TextView = findViewById(R.id.android_text) as TextView     text.setOnClickListener {         text.setText(getString(R.string.name))     } 

Output: I got the output but showing use property access syntax.

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

In kotlin don't use getters and setters as like in java.The correct format of the kotlin is given below.

val textView: TextView = findViewById(R.id.android_text) as TextView textView.setOnClickListener {     textView.text = getString(R.string.name) } 

To get the values from the Textview we have to use this method

 val str: String = textView.text.toString()   println("the value is $str")
