Definition and Usage

The TextView control is used to create a multi-line input box on a mobile device.

The text can be specified by the text attribute or as the content of the TextView element. If the text is specified in both ways, the inner text takes precedence. However, if the text is programmatically set, the inner text is replaced with this text.
