I'm currently following a course to learn android development but I encountered a problem:

I have set a textview and 4 button with text inside so that's okay, on android studio the text is displaying in the button but when I run the app on my device (Oukitel WP15 android 11 api 30) the button does not show any text so if anyone have a clue of what happening ? Thank you ! Code :

Text not showing on my device

Text is showing on android studio

CodePudding user response：

the tools: namespace is just for design, it doesn't do anything when the app is running.

use android: instead:

tools:text="@string/question"

should be

android:text="@string/question"
