Trying to output text of a list array in a random order but i keep getting an error with textView.setText(myList[rando]);

Question

With the following the myList[rando] is underlined and it says "The type of expression must be an array type but it resolved to List"

textView.setText(myList[rando]);

Here is my code:

    public void OnButtonClickDisplayFact(View view)
    {

    List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
    myList.add("111");
    myList.add("222");
    myList.add("333");

    int rando = (int) (Math.random() * 3);
    TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.randomFactText);
    textView.setText(myList[rando]);


    }

Answer 1

To access elements of an array list, use the get method, that is

myList.get(rando)

myList[rando] only works for arrays

Answer 2

You're using array notation where get is required

textView.setText(myList.get(rando));
