Android setText error

Question

I have a view in the XML

<TextView style="@style/TitleBarText" />

whose styles are defined in values/styles.xml as follows

<style name="TitleBarText">
        <item name="android:id">@+id/title_text</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_weight">1</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center_vertical</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_size_medium</item>
        <item name="android:paddingLeft">12dip</item>
        <item name="android:paddingRight">12dip</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/title_text</item>
        <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
        <item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
    </style>

When i try to set the text from onCreate of the activity like this i am getting an error

TextView titleText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title_text);
titleText.setText(getString(R.string.title_home));

In Eclipse i am getting this error

title_text cannot be resolved or is not a field

Answer 1

You have set id of the String resource in textview You have to write like

titleText.setText(getString(R.string.title_home));

EDIT

You have to set id of textview in <Textview> tag instead of writing in style of textview
