I have a similar situation where I need to transform a date sent over the wire in numeric (milliseconds) form into a readable localized date. I used a wrapper class that had the ondata method that set the value of an inner text field. The wrapper just extended view and had only the text element and some other properties. The text field didn't have a datapath, the value was always managed by the wrapper (also used this technique for bolding rows based on dataset properties).
Good luck.

I seem to be getting the data that I want but for some reason I can't seem
to change the text that is displayed by the text view. I've put debug
statements in my if statement and I'm getting to the code which does
either this.setText("Subscribed") or this.setText("") but the text never
changes.
