Cannot resolve method setText - AndroidStudio

Question

Sorry in advance, this is the first project I've done with android.

I am trying to make text in the php file appear, but setText is saying it can't resolve the method. I'm sure there are many things I've done wrong here, but the setText is the only error at the moment.

private String itemTitle;
private String itemDate;
private String itemContent;

Response.Listener<JSONObject> listener = new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {

        NewsRecord record = new NewsRecord();
        try {
            record.title = response.getString("title");
            record.shortInfo = response.getString("short_info");
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        itemTitle.setText(record.title);
        itemDate.setText(record.date);
        itemContent.setText(record.shortInfo);

    }
    };

        Response.ErrorListener errorListener = new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

            }
        };


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


        Intent intent = getIntent();
        int recordId = intent.getIntExtra("record_id", 0);

        String url = "http://www.tnt.com/projects/newsfeed/getList.php";

        new JsonObjectRequest(url, null, listener, errorListener);


    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

String s do not have a setText() method. You are probably looking for something that extends TextView .
