Answer 1

Remove setContentView from showPopup . This is resetting your layout and text view to the original text.

Answer 2

You don't need to set the view twice. Use the following code.

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

TextView hello;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    hello = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
 }

public void showPopup(View view){
        String how = "How are you";
        hello.setText(how);
}
}
