Getting index of value in ArrayList

Question

myHolder.mName.Text = mEmails[position].Name;

I have been trying to change this xamarin code into Java and when i make it into

 myHolder.mName.getText(mEmails.get(position).getName());

I end up getting red line under the text and this gives me alot of time wasted trying to make it work and am still not yet good in java

And it looks like your first code sets Text, whereas your Java code tries to getText. Those seem to be opposite of each other. — Carcigenicate

But you have yet to post the error you're getting. If you need help, don't make it difficult to help you. — Carcigenicate

The code you are trying to change "sets" the text and you are doing "get".

Try:

myHolder.mName.setText(mEmails.get(position).getName());

or if mName is a property (change others to "get" also if they are a property instead of a variable)

myHolder.getMName.setText(mEmails.get(position).getName());

and if mEmails is a java array:

myHolder.mName.setText(mEmails[position].getName());
