Type mismatch, Required: Editable! Found: String

Android

I’m pretty new to programming and I’m struggling to figure out where I’ve gone wrong here.

Here is the piece of code in question

fun bind(bike: BikeShopModel) {
itemView.bikeTitle.text = bike.title
itemView.description.text = bike.description
}

its the bike.title part that is causing the issue.

lateinit var app: MainApp

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_bikeshop_list)
    app = application as MainApp

    val layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
    recyclerView.layoutManager = layoutManager
    recyclerView.adapter = BikeShopAdapter(app.bikes)
}

}

class BikeShopAdapter constructor(private var bikes: List) :
RecyclerView.Adapter<BikeShopAdapter.MainHolder>() {

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MainHolder {
    return MainHolder(
            LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(
                    R.layout.card_bikeshop,
                    parent,
                    false
            )
    )
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: MainHolder, position: Int) {
    val bike = bikes[holder.adapterPosition]
    holder.bind(bike)
}

override fun getItemCount(): Int = bikes.size

class MainHolder constructor(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {

    fun bind(bike: BikeShopModel) {
        itemView.bikeTitle.text = bike.title
        itemView.description.text = bike.description
    }
}

Short answer:

You can set String to TextView using setText method. In your case it would look like this.

fun bind(bike: BikeShopModel) {
    itemView.bikeTitle.setText(bike.title)
    itemView.description.setText(bike.description)
}
