How to Set a Tag for a TextView

added in API Level 1
* Use android:id instead when you can. *

Supply a tag for this view containing a String, to be retrieved later with View.getTag() or searched for with View.findViewWithTag(). It is generally preferable to use IDs (through the android:id attribute) instead of tags because they are faster and allow for compile-time typing checking.

1. Add a TextView in your main.xml file.

2. In the main.xml file, add the code below.

  <TextView
        ...
       android:tag = "myTag"
  />

3. Compile and run!
