(New answer with more knowledge of question)

Maybe you can do it with Strings.xml?? 

<string name="player_1">Rahav</string>
<string name="player_2">Martin</string>

EditText in your xml file: android:text="@string/player_1"

Then programatically you can set it to the first player. 

yourEditText.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.player_1);
