Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
TextView textView= new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.content);
layout.addView(textView);
}

Answer 1

You have to place your Code inside the onCreate or another java method that is called inside of your onCreate method.

Java is not a functional programming language so you have to place this code inside of a method.

Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
TextView textView= new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.content);
layout.addView(textView);
