Android Question SetText of a view by using reflection

[ArminKH]

hi i want set the text of view by using reflection
the solution in java object is

Dim T=lbl As JavaObject
    T.RunMethod("setText",Array As Object("My Text"))

i try following code but that not worked

Dim T As Reflector
    T.Target=lbl
    T.RunMethod2("setText","My Text","java.lang.string")

tnx all

Check the Java documentation, I think it should be java.lang.String ( capital S)

@stevel05

Dim T As Reflector
    T.Target=lbl
    T.RunMethod2("setText","My Text","java.lang.String")

not worked again


java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: setText [class java.lang.String]

my project is

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region
#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region
Sub Process_Globals
End Sub
Sub Globals
    Private Label1 As Label
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Label1.Initialize("")
        Activity.AddView(Label1,0,0,100%X,25%Y)
        CallSubDelayed2(Me,"Test",Label1)
End Sub
Sub Activity_Resume
End Sub
Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
End Sub
Public Sub Test(lbl As Label)
Dim T As Reflector
    T.Target=lbl
    T.RunMethod2("setText","My Text","java.lang.String")
   
'Dim j=lbl As JavaObject
'    j.RunMethod("setText", Array As Object("My Text"))
End Sub

Why not call Label.Text = "my text" ?

 

[ArminKH]

Why not call Label.Text = "my text" ?

Because i create a lib and i want to set text for each view it can be has text
But user can select button and label or any other view
For example i have a sub named:

Sub test(v as view)
If v.tag="1" then
Dim r as reflector
R.target=v
R.runmethod2("setText","ok","java.lang.String")
End if
End sub

Now the v parameter can be a label or button or edittext and thats not just label
What is the solution?

 

[ArminKH]

@Erel
Thats not possible by using reflection?thats worked by java object

 

[Erel]

You don't need reflection to do this.

This code will work with all views that are subclasses of TextView (which includes button):

If v Is Label Then
 Dim lbl As Label = v
 lbl.Text = "Sdf"
End If

Dim lbl As Label = v
lbl.Text = "Sdf"
End If

i know this erel
this is true but if i want to set text of different view my codes be a bit long

If v Is Label Then
Dim lbl As Label = v
lbl.Text = "Sdf"
End If
If v Is Button Then
Dim btn As Button = v
btn.Text = "Sdf"
End If

AND........

and one other problem is in widget where i want to set the text of label in widget

if is possible please correct my reflection code
tnx

 

[ArminKH]

this is possible by using java object lib but in my code i use reflection lib and i dont want use 2 same lib together

 

[Erel]

Please read my previous answer again. The exact code I wrote (no need to duplicate it) will work with all subclasses of TextView. This includes Label, Button, EditText, CheckBox and RadioButton.

 

[Erel]

i use reflection lib and i dont want use 2 same lib together

Note that there is no problem with using the two libraries together. It is not required here but still there is no problem at all.

@Erel
thats worked for label in a widget?
i create a lib and if i use this 2 lib together users must be check 2lib thats better if all things done by using 1 lib
all of my code used reflection lib and just this part not worked by using reflection
ok thanks erel but i think thats better 4 all to know the correct code in above posts not just 4 me
every thing can be done by many ways but this is not reason for forget learning other ways
thanks again 4 your respons
