can not resolve method setText(java.lang.String[])- Android Studio

Question

I don't know why I am getting this error in Android Studio, this is quite a simple command that I am executing. The code is provided below. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am getting the error in the last line of code.

 String[] sadThought = {"a", "sad", "Thought"};
 String[] sadRandom ={(sadThought[new Random().nextInt(sadThought.length)])};

    TvSad.setText(sadRandom);

I would say from the time these variables came into existence till the code you have shown. (at least written if you can't post the code. — Newd

Simply use this

TvSad.setText(sadThought[new Random().nextInt(sadThought.length)]);

@user5145575 Again, What is TvSad??

@tnw the error was sadRandom is define as a array and he is passing an String array to textView , and textView is expecting String

@user5145575 you were defining sadRandom as an String array but actually you should have define as a String because textView takes a String in textView.SetText() as a Parameter

You dont have to create a separate array to get a random string from your sadThought array. You can try:

TvSad.setText(sadThought[new Random().nextInt(sadThought.length)]);

Also, make sure your TvSad is an instance of textView or EditText or other widgets that support .setText(..) method.
