TextView setText() does not work

Question

I have the following problem in my Android app:

setText does not changes text of textviews

Some strings and doubles must be sent via intent and must be displayed in textviews

code part where i send extra messages:

private void showInfo(PointOfInterest poi){
        Intent intent  = new Intent(this, ShowInfo.class);
        intent.putExtra("name", poi.getName().toString());
        intent.putExtra("city", poi.getCity().toString());
        intent.putExtra("country", poi.getCountry().toString());
        intent.putExtra("date", poi.getDate().toString());
        intent.putExtra("comment", poi.getComment().toString());
        intent.putExtra("cat", poi.getCategorie().toString());
        intent.putExtra("lng", poi.getLng());
        intent.putExtra("lat", poi.getLat());

        startActivity(intent);
    }

i try to display them:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_show_info); 
    namePoi = intent.getStringExtra("name");
    TextView name = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showNameInfo);
    TextView city = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showCityInfo);
    TextView country = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showCountryInfo);
    TextView date = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showDateInfo);
    TextView comment = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showCommentInfo);
    TextView cat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showCatInfo);

    lat = intent.getDoubleExtra("lat", 0);
    lng = intent.getDoubleExtra("lng", 0);
    TextView latView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showLatInfo);
    TextView lngView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showLngInfo);
    Log.d("debug", intent.getStringExtra("cat"));
    CharSequence tmp = intent.getStringExtra("name");
    name.setText(tmp);
    city.setText(intent.getStringExtra("city"));
    country.setText(intent.getStringExtra("country"));
    date.setText(intent.getStringExtra("date"));
    comment.setText(intent.getStringExtra("comment"));
    name.setText(intent.getStringExtra("name"));
    cat.setText(intent.getStringExtra("cat"));
    lngView.setText(String.valueOf(lng));
    latView.setText(String.valueOf(lat));
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_info); 
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
        .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
    }
}

Answer 1

Your onCreate() function is wrong.

....

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_info); 
    PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
    fragment.setArguments(intent.getExtras());
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
        .add(R.id.container, fragment).commit();
    }
}

PlaceHolderFragment:

...

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,  ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_show_info, container, false);
    namePoi = intent.getStringExtra("name");
    name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showNameInfo);
    city = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showCityInfo);
    country = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showCountryInfo);
    date = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showDateInfo);
    comment = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showCommentInfo);
    cat = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showCatInfo);

    lat = getArguments().getDouble("lat", 0);
    lng = getArguments().getDouble("lng", 0);
    latView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showLatInfo);
    lngView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showLngInfo);
    Log.d("debug", getArguments().getString("cat"));
    CharSequence tmp = getArguments().getString("name");
    name.setText(tmp);
    city.setText(getArguments().getString("city"));
    country.setText(getArguments().getString("country"));
    date.setText(getArguments().getString("date"));
    comment.setText(getArguments().getString("comment"));
    name.setText(getArguments().getString("name"));
    cat.setText(getArguments().getString("cat"));
    lngView.setText(String.valueOf(lng));
    latView.setText(String.valueOf(lat));
    return view;
}
