EDIT: TextView to EditText

I see several potential issues...

For starters:

TextVA = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.editTextP);

Is R.id.editTextP an EditText? You are casting it as a TextView

And also:

Calling setWidth here will have no effect. There is an onLayout method for each view that gets called after onCreate is finished. The width/height get set to whatever is specified in your XML layout during that call

You can either extend and create your own EditText and override the onLayout method, or you can figure out how to size your views correctly via XML.
