Set text in TextView in custom dialog

Question

I want to set the text in a TextView contained in a custom dialog programmatically, so that I can use Html.fromHtml. In what function should I call setText? I've tried doing it in onCreateDialog, but this does not actually change the text.

public class InfoDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());

        LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();

        // Inflate and set the layout for the dialog
        // Pass null as the parent view because its going in the dialog layout
        builder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.infodialog, null));

        TextView textView = (TextView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.info);
        textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h1>Text has been correctly set</h1>"));
        ...

Solution

Try this:

View content =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.infodialog, null);   
builder.setView(content);
TextView textView = (TextView) content.findViewById(R.id.info);

Thanks! So I guess the issue is that Activity.findViewById() only looks in the layout passed to the activity's setContentView() method, which in my case did not include the View used by the dialog.

Kind of late but you could also use TextView tv = myDialog.findViewById(R.id.myDialogsTextView)
