    <p>Hi there. I dont know what is happening. I am trying to change the text of an <code>EditText</code> when creating a <code>DialogFragment</code>, but the <code>EditText</code> is not updating the text. If I call <code>getText().length()</code> I notice that the content of the <code>EditText</code> changed. But, the visual keeps the same, just empty.</p> <p><strong>Why?</strong></p> <p>Thanks in advance people</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>public class ItemNameDialog extends DialogFragment { @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(final Bundle bundle) { System.out.println("ON CREATE DIALOG WAS CALLED"); //This appears on LogCat, so this method is called.. the problem is not that AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()); builder.setTitle("Configure an item to count:"); LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater(); View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.itempick_layout, null); builder.setView(view); final CheckBox box = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.itemSenseCheckBox); final EditText itemNameBox = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.itemNameText); final Spinner spinner = (Spinner) view.findViewById(R.id.itemsDefault); final int viewIDClicked = getArguments().getInt(clickableViewID); final String actualName = getArguments().getString(actualNameItemView); System.out.println("H - before: " + itemNameBox.getText().toString().length()); //it appears on logcat "H - before: 0" itemNameBox.setText(actualName); System.out.println("H - after: " + itemNameBox.getText().toString().length()); //it appears on logcat "H - before: 3" so why not changing ? return builder.create(); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
