    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.


    text fields have methods you can call to set the text that is being shown. Read the API doc to see what methods the class has.

    Read the API doc to see what methods the class has. You will need to use one of them to display the data.

    I don't understand how you don't know the class of a variable.
    One way to find the class of a variable is to use the editor on the source code and do a Find for the variable's name. Some where in the code there will be a definition for the variable. When you find the definition the name of the class will be on the line with the variable name to the left of the name.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
