android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID Fatal Exception in Main
AndroidExceptionRandomTextviewAndroid Problem Overview
I've been trying to make a simple program that fetches a small random number and displays it to the user in a textview. After finally getting the random number to generate (I think) the program throws a fatal exception whenever I run. No errors in code, but I'm a complete newbie and I am starting simple so that I may learn. After hours I've submitted to asking for help. I'm almost certain that my snippet for random numbers is in the wrong area, I just am not sure where to put it. Everywhere I tried throws the same error.
This is the .java
package com.eai.vgp;
import java.util.Random;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
Random pp = new Random();
int a1 = pp.nextInt(10);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);{
tv.setText(a1);}
}
The XML
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
Move
Random pp = new Random();
int a1 = pp.nextInt(10);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(a1);
To inside onCreate(), and change tv.setText(a1); to tv.setText(String.valueOf(a1)); :
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Random pp = new Random();
int a1 = pp.nextInt(10);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(String.valueOf(a1));
}
First issue: findViewById() was called before onCreate(), which would throw an NPE.
Second issue: Passing an int directly to a TextView calls the overloaded method that looks for a String resource (from R.string). Therefore, we want to use String.valueOf() to force the String overloaded method.
Solution 2 - Android
You tried to do a.setText(a1). a1 is an int value, but setText() requires a string value. For this reason you need use String.valueOf(a1) to pass the value of a1 as a String and not as an int to a.setText(), like so:
a.setText(String.valueOf(a1))
that was the exact solution to the problem with my case.
Solution 3 - Android
tv.setText( a1 + " ");
This will resolve your problem.
Solution 4 - Android
You are trying to set int value to TextView so you are getting this issue.
To solve this try below one option
option 1:
tv.setText(no+"");
Option2:
tv.setText(String.valueOf(no));
Solution 5 - Android
Other possible solution:
tv.setText(Integer.toString(a1)); // where a1 - int value
Solution 6 - Android
This always can happen in DataBinding. Try to stay away from adding logic in your bindings, including appending an empty string. You can make your own custom adapter, and use it multiple times.
@BindingAdapter("numericText")
fun numericText(textView: TextView, value: Number?) {
value?.let {
textView.text = value.toString()
}
}
<TextView app:numericText="@{list.size()}" .../>
