    copied!<p>I am new to android development and my code is not working how it should. The following does not update the text I have in a string called otp1. I think it is firing the exception, is there a way to see if it is? Also, any tips on why it is not working would be great.</p> <pre><code>package com.josephflynn.HelloWorld; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TextView; public class MainActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); try { final TextView textViewToChange = (TextView) findViewById(R.string.otp1); textViewToChange.setText("otp"); } catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } </code></pre> <p>This is my main.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/otp1" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="This is my first Android Application!" /&gt; &lt;Button android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Add this clickable button!" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>
