Dynamic Text Field - Android

Question

I'm trying to create a dynamic text field that will take multiple fields of user input during a single activity, do a calculation in the java file, and then display the resulting value within the SAME activity in a text field.

Is there any way of doing this? I just figured out that I can't edit strings.xml dynamically, so are there any structures I can use that will allow me to constantly change the values?

Thanks all.

This will be pretty straight forward:

String yourTextValue = "text";
TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
myTextView.setText(yourTextValue);

Just call setText() with your String value (whatever it may be) each time you want to change the value of your TextView.
