title: Android dev - TextView won't show up
body: <p>I just started experimenting with Android app development and so I decided to give Android's own tutorials a go (this one: <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html</a> ) </p>
  
  <p>The textview in my new activity just won't show. Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class DisplayMessageActivity extends Activity {
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
          /* Get the intent and the message sent with it */
          Intent intent = getIntent();
          String message = intent.getStringExtra(GoogleTutActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
  
          /* Create a new textview where we can show the message the user sent */
          TextView textView = new TextView(this);
          textView.setTextSize(40);
          textView.setText(message);
  
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
