Apps Adding text to a View

[ahmadux]

I'm trying to add a text element to a view that's been created. I've found some answers online, but haven't been able to tailor them. I'm using the TouchPaint example code. Every-time I run the app with the text element, the app fails. I'm new to Android and would appreciate any help. Thanks!

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Create and attach the view that is responsible for painting.
mView = new MyView(this);
setContentView(mView);
mView.requestFocus();
TextView tvX= (TextView)findViewById(R.id.pointSize);
tvX.setText("TestText");
// Restore the fading option if we are being thawed from a
// previously saved state. Note that we are not currently remembering
// the contents of the bitmap.
mFading = savedInstanceState != null ? savedInstanceState.getBoolean("fading", true) : true;
}

mPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
mPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
mFadePaint = new Paint();
mFadePaint.setDither(true);
mFadePaint.setARGB(FADE_ALPHA, 0, 0, 0);
