How to Declare a TextView

TextView was added in API Level 1
Displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. A TextView is a complete text editor, however the basic class is configured to not allow editing; see EditText for a subclass that configures the text view for editing.

1. In the MainActivity.java file, add the below import to the imports

 import android.widget.TextView;

2. In the onCreate method, add the line below. This will declare a TextView object named myTextView.

TextView myTextView;

3. Compile and run!
