How do I display a string in an Android app? [android help]

How do I display a string in an Android app?

I'm confused on exactly what your problem is here but you have a couple problems if you want your TextView to display the message. This line here

TextView textView = new TextView(this);

will create a new TextView, not reference the one you have in your xml. And it won't show because you haven't added it to your contentView. So, when you call setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message); what will be shown is what is in activity_display_message. If you want to access that View then you need to give it an id in your xml file and access it with findViewById(). So give it an id

android:id="@+id/tv1"   // give it an id here
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/entered_message" />

then access it after calling setContentView(...)

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      Intent intent = getIntent();
      String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
      TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv1);  // reference it here with the id you gave it in the xml

}

Now that you have referenced the TextView, you can call setText(), setTextSize(), etc.. if need be.

I'm not exactly sure what String you want where so its hard to give much more help without a better explanation. But note that

String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

will assign the message variable to whatever is passed in your Intent from the calling Activity.

Gps Location updates in android is not working

From Android official site I have downloaded Location services example & did run in the real device. Every time onLocationChanged method is returning Network's Latitude & Longitude but not accurate GPS location. How to achieve accurate GPS locations from the new android Location API.

Here is my service code

package com.example.locationservice;

    // The fastest update frequency, in seconds
    private static final int FASTEST_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS = 1;

Google Plus +1 an Google Play application? [android help]

Google Plus +1 an Google Play application?

My question is regarding the Google Play +1 button now available inside Android apps. I managed to include a fully functional +1 button inside my app, however it takes an URL as a parameter to "+1", and my question is regarding which URL should I use.

Watching the Google I/O I saw that Google will recommend apps based on what your friends +1'd, so what I'm trying to archive is creating an +1 button that will have the same behavior as +1'ing though the Google Play app details page.

Should I use the Google Play URL? What else can I do?

Thanks for responding.
