Dear All, my name is Erik, and I hope I’m in the right place here.  
(Actually, I’m doubting a bit if I can ask a question like this, but then just tell me)  
Because I’m an absolute beginner, and just a few months ahead with Kotlin/Android Studio.  
I bought about 5 Udemy courses, and watched many tutorials on Google.  
I just made up a few applications, and built a few apps for mobile.

Now I’m working on an ATV app.  
I enclosed a screenshot.  
The white spot is a nice place to give some artist/song info, when selecting a button.  
Clicking a button calls an mp4 file on a cloudserver, and plays it in the MediaPlayerActivity.

Can someone give me a hint, keywords, thoughts etc, about what I have to try, to get the text-info in the white-space.  
So the several textblocks in a string.xml, a setOnSelectedListener in the "button-blocks"in the MainActivity.kt  
So a few rough steps, to guide me in the right direction.

Thanks for all your replies.  
I’m sure it will mean many weeks of homework for me 😉  
Thnx!
