text view on camera preview

I am developing a camera app. I want to display a text view on the camera preview. If I add the text view, the app will show the text view with the default text. When I do setText, the app is crashing. Can any body tell what might be the reason for this? 

<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/textView1" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Text"
        android:layout_gravity="center" android:paddingTop="25dp"
        android:textSize="20dp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

java code:

TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); 
text.setText("hi");

If I comment out setText line then app will display the default text.

Have you called setContentView() before calling findViewById()?

Your log suggests that textView1 is not available at that stage of onCreate(). When do you load the layout? Can you setText() later?
