Android String Resource Not Found Exception
So, in my application, I have an edit text that changes based on the click of a button inside my list. For this I used an interface and a custom adapter. The app launches fine, but when I try to click the button, the app crashes and throws "resource not found exception". Can anyone help fix this error?
My main activity

IN
public void updateEditText(int value)
{
EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit1);
myEditText.setText(value);
}
the second line gets an int, which should be the Id stored in R.string
As @ zgc7009 said you need to change
myEditText.setText(value);
to
myEditText.setText(String.valueOf(value));
