android: error with time picker listener in dynamic edit text

Error messages:

There are two problems and one of them is causing the time picker not to run and the app to crash when I click on the field of the edit text which runs the time picker when clicked on.

  1. The 'v' in v.setText... gets an error: 'The method setText(String) is undefined for the type View'. I added a cast like this: '((EditText) v).setText...' and there wasn't an error with it anymore but it is still not working

  2. The error message I get when I put 'this' in the time picker dialog listener is: The constructor TimePickerDialog(new View.OnClickListener(){}, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener(){}, int, int, boolean) is undefined

    editTextTime.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
    public void onClick(final View v) {


        final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        mHour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        mMinute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);


        TimePickerDialog tpd = new TimePickerDialog(**this**,//same Activity Context like before
                new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay,
                            int minute) {


                        ((EditText) v).setText(hourOfDay + ":" + minute); //You set the time for the EditText created
                    }



                }, mHour, mMinute, true);
        tpd.show();



    }
});

this refers to anonymous class implementing OnClickListener. To get reference to Context (Activity) you need to provide

Activity.this
