Android change textview content

Question

Hi I tried to change the content of a textview of another xml. Unfortunaly it does not work, my code looks like this:

    View inflatedView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, null);
    TextView testView= (TextView) inflatedView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
    TextView test = (TextView) inflatedView.findViewById((R.id.testext));
    testView.setText("adasd");
    test.setText("adjhsajdH");

Does anyone know a solution.

Can you post the full code and have you checked if the if statement is working properly — Mahmoud.M, Nov 07 '15 at 22:33
I can't help you if you didn't provide the full code and the xml files — Mahmoud.M, Nov 07 '15 at 22:37
what do you do with `inflatedView` how do you add it to your activity? post `onCreate` and maybe `onResume`of your Activity — JohnnyAW, Nov 07 '15 at 22:47

When you are inflating a layout, it creates a new layout. It means your first line of code does not retrieve the layout of your fragment, but creates a new one. That' why you don't see the change in your fragment view.

If you want to change the values displayed by the fragment, create a new method in which fragment that will do the job internally.
