How to get text defined in xml, after change it programmatically

I have TextView: 

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/name"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Simple Name" />

Then I set text programmatically by amount.setText("other Name").
Now, is it possible to get original value from that TextView?
I know that I should use string resources and then there would be no problem but I'm curious is this possible.

There is no way of getting this value from xml.

  1. Put your "Simple Name" to string resources as my_resource
  2. Use android:text="@string/my_resource" in your TextView
  3. Set text in the code to whatever you want tv.setText("Whatever")
  4. Set text in the code back to previous value tv.setText(R.string.my_resource)
