How to add text to a layout in Android?
To add text to a layout in Android, you can use the TextView widget. Here is an example:
- Open the XML layout file in res/layout (for example, activity_main.xml).
- Add a TextView widget to the layout file as shown below:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, World!"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"/>
- In the Activity or Fragment, locate the corresponding TextView widget and set its text content, for example:
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText("Hello, Android!");
By adjusting the properties of the TextView, you can add and display text in an Android layout, allowing further customization of text style, color, and size.
