Java: type casting question

Is there any way to do this in a single line:

    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbSightName);
    tv.setText("Some Text");

I would like to do away declaring the intermediary tv, like so:

(TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbSightName).setText("Some Text");

Not possible?

Sure

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbSightName)).setText("Some Text");

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.lbSightName)).setText("Some thingy");

Adding one more set of parenthesis does the trick

You can, but it isn't best practice

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbSightName)).setText("Some Text");
TextView.class.cast(findViewById(R.id.lbSightName).setText("Some Text");

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.lbSightName)).setText("Some Text");

Just add braces.
