I noticed that you commented in 2011 but i thought i should post this answer anyway, in case anyone needs to "replace the original string" and runs into this answer ..

Im using a EditText as an example

---

// GIVE TARGET TEXT BOX A NAME

 EditText textbox = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.your_textboxID);

// STRING TO REPLACE

 String oldText = "hello"
 String newText = "Hi";      
 String textBoxText = textbox.getText().toString();

// REPLACE STRINGS WITH RETURNED STRINGS

String returnedString = textBoxText.replace( oldText, newText );

// USE RETURNED STRINGS TO REPLACE NEW STRING INSIDE TEXTBOX

textbox.setText(returnedString);

This is untested, but it's just an example of using the returned string to replace the original layouts string with setText() !

Obviously this example requires that you have a EditText with the ID set to your_textboxID
