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

my project is
B4X:
#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" ?
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:
B4X:
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?

You don't need reflection to do this.

This code will work with all views that are subclasses of TextView (which includes button):
B4X:
If v Is Label Then
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
B4X:
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

@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
