Android Tutorial & Lessons 14: using the getText() and setText() methods

Whats up CornFanz, thanks for watching my videos, I would love it if you subscribe and give me some feedback.

pretty boring/lame tutorial, but we will be using some new methods( setText & getText)

In this lesson you will:
-start doing something with the tutorialOne class
-set up some variables
-use the setText & getText methods
-subscribe
-Thumbs up this video ;)

This video is the 14th in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C++, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.




If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

is setTextView anything like creating a Context Menu to have media files save to phone when someone longpresses a button?

I ask because if it is I need help with this because I know it is some type of view maybe v view>

[CornboyzAndroid]

@androidfunmore nope, that would be something else, basically setTextView just sets the textview to something. haha sounds simple enough, right?

Great Tutorials, this would really help people that are interested in developing apps. Great ideas are born everyday from great minds.

hi, is there a way to use an editText space (not Textview) as output? For example i want to write "house" but I want it to display "bears" as I write it.. kind of a disguise for input.. It would be like when writing a password, but instead ****** I want a custom string to appear.. thank you so much your tutorials are great btw
