Android TextView : “Do not concatenate text displayed with setText”

Question

I am setting text using setText() by following way.

prodNameView.setText(\"\" + name);

prodOriginalPriceView.setText(\"\" + String.format(g         


        

Answer 1

the problem is because you are appending "" at the beginning of every string.

lint will scan arguments being passed to setText and will generate warnings, in your case following warning is relevant:

Do not build messages by concatenating text chunks. Such messages can not be properly translated.

as you are concatenating every string with "".

remove this concatenation as the arguments you are passing are already text. Also, you can use .toString() if at all required anywhere else instead of concatenating your string with ""
