Hi, there, I have a problem with the java.awt.TextArea. It seems that I can't setText or append on a TextArea. Evening using something like this: TextArea textarea = new TextArea("hello", 20, 30); hello will not be displayed on the TextArea. It is highly appreciated if anyone can help me with it. Thank you very much.
