I am trying to build my first Android app using Android Studio and Firebase. I have it all connected and it is showing the content from the database and images from the firebase storage just fine. The problem is, for some reason my text isn't showing up that I added into the xml. At the bottom of the post there are 3 buttons, "like", "comment", and "re-post" they have an icon, then text next to them. The icons are showing up perfectly, but the text will not show up. Here is the "include_post_actions.xml" where the problem lies...

In the preview the text shows up right next to the icons, but when I run it on an emulator only the icons are there, and I can't figure out why. Please help. Thank you. The preview in Android Studio
The issue is that you are using tools:text="Repost"
. That only displays in the preview mode, you need to use android:text="Repost"
to actually display it.
The tools
namespace is for editor purposes only and is a great way to align things without actually setting values. If you want to actually display the text, however, you need to use the android
namespace.
tools
attribute reference allows you to enforce any specific attributes only for preview in Android Studio so that you can see the text in editor. Setting text by android:text
will hardcode string in TextView
. Also you can change text by setText
method on the TextView
object
Try changing tools:text="Repost"
to android:text="Repost"
As per documentation:
The tools namespace is a specially recognized namespace by the Android tools, so all the attributes you define on view elements in the tools-namespace will be automatically stripped when the application is packaged and there is no runtime overhead.
These are attributes which are used when the layout is rendered in the tool, but have no impact on the runtime. This is useful if you for example want to put sample data in your textfields for when you are editing the layout, but you don't want those attributes to affect your running app.
Hope this helps!
尝试将宽度属性从 match_parents 更改为 wrap_contents。
