Set a progress from a SeekBar

Question

I have this seekbar and this TextView in which I want to show the actual progress of the seekbar. The actual XML for the textview:

            <SeekBar
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/seekBar1"
            android:layout_below="@+id/dimension_text"/>

            <TextView
            android:layout_width="50dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:text="@string/num_dimension" //where num_dimension is a number
            android:id="@+id/textViewProgress"/>

And the actual Java:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
int p=0;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    final TextView t1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.test);
    final SeekBar sk=(SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);
    final TextView textProgress = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textViewProgress);

    sk.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(p<12)
            {
                p=12;
                sk.setProgress(p);
            }

        }
        @Override
        public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }
        @Override
        public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,boolean fromUser) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
            p=progress;
            t1.setTextSize(p);
            textProgress.setText(p); //this is the line that should do the work
        }
    });

Whenever I tap on the seekbar my app is force-closed. So I'm a little bit confused with this, what am I doing wrong?

This is the logcat:

Answer 1

Cast p to a string.

You are inadvertently using this overload:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setText(int)

public final void setText (int resid)

Which tries to retrieve a string resource with an ID equal to p (you're passing p as resid ), and there's no such resource, which causes the exception.

Change

textProgress.setText(p);

to

textProgress.setText(Integer.toString(p));

This will call the proper overload:

public final void setText (CharSequence text)

And your app won't crash.
