Android - textview doesn't show up

enter image description here

For some reason, my textview Add a base doesn't show up when I launch the app on my phone. I have no idea why, 'cause it is displayed on Android studio :O

tools:text="YOUR TEXT" can be used for your design and preview purpose. If you add any text as a tools:text app will not use this text as that is not the actual text that should be rendered on the app

So instead of this, you should use android:text="YOUR TEXT"

Replace tools:text="@string/add_base" with android:text="@string/add_base"

Attributes in the tools namespace are shown only when designing layouts. When you build your app, the build tools remove these attributes so there is no effect on your APK size or runtime behavior.
