Update TextView to use the Spaceship type property.Use getter method

Question

Use Getter

LandingActivity.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LandingActivity extends Activity {

    public Button mThrustButton;
    public TextView mTypeLabel;
    public EditText mPassengersField;

    public Spaceship mSpaceship;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);

        mThrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
        mTypeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.getType());
        mPassengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);

         mSpaceship=new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
    }
}

Spaceship.java

public class Spaceship {
    private String mType;
    private int mNumPassengers = 0;

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }

    public int getNumPassengers() {
      return mNumPassengers;
    }

    public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
      mNumPassengers = numPassengers;
    }

    public Spaceship() {
      mType = "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public Spaceship(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

Hello,

Notice that the TextView you need to update is mTypeLabel. Recall from the videos that a TextView can call setText() method to update text. You need the type from the Spaceship object you just made and assigned to mSpaceship. It has the method getType() that returns a string.

Example:

        mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Chris
