Get user input in Android app to change TextView text

I have a TextView with some default text, but when a particular file exists it should prompt the user for new text for the TextView. Is there a simple way to do this?

I know what the if statement should be, but not how to get the user response.

In JavaScript I would have done something like:

var newText = prompt("What should the new text be?");
myElement.text = newText;

Use a Dialog/DialogFragment that includes an EditText (and potentially some further validation) to get the user's input.

This Android-Developers blog post covers exactly this scenario and should answer all your questions.
