Remove android:inputType="text|phone" and try.

Did you set a android:inputType for the EditText in your XML? For example, if you set android:inputType="number" for your textPhoneN then you will not be able to set "sdf" because it isn't numeric data (it will not throw any error, but the text will not be set)

Instead, try textPhoneN.setText("12345");

If this doesn't work either, maybe your EditText is disabled in XML.
