[FIXED] Kotlin: How to get and set a text to TextView in Android using Kotlin?

Issue

I'm newbie.

I want to change text of TextView While click on it.

My code:

val text: TextView = findViewById(R.id.android_text) as TextView
    text.setOnClickListener {
        text.setText(getString(R.string.name))
    }

Output: I got the output but showing use property access syntax.

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

In kotlin don't use getters and setters as like in java.The correct format of the kotlin is given below.

val textView: TextView = findViewById(R.id.android_text) as TextView
textView.setOnClickListener {
    textView.text = getString(R.string.name)
}

To get the values from the Textview we have to use this method

 val str: String = textView.text.toString()

 println("the value is $str")
