    Default ERROR - The method setTypeface(Typeface, int) is undefined for the type String

    this is my code so far, i don't think it accepts the variable 'count' from the other class, but it keeps coming up with this error under
    setTypeFace.
    package com.example;
     
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Date;
    import android.graphics.Typeface;
    import android.view.View;
     
    public class Message extends ChatApplication{
     
    	@Override
    	public String toString() {
    		return timeFormat.format(time) + "\n" + sender + text + count;
    	}
     
    	Date time = new Date();
    	SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("HH:mm");
     
    	private String text;
    	private String sender = "Carla: ";
    	public int count;
     
    	public void button(){
    		if(count==0){
    			text.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT,Typeface.NORMAL);
    		}
    		else if (count == 1){
    			text.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT,Typeface.ITALIC);
    		}
    		else if (count == 2){
    			text.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT,Typeface.BOLD);
    		}
    	}
     
    	public Message(String text) {
    		super();
    		this.text = text;
    	}
     
    	public String getText() {
    		return text;
    	}
     
    	public Message(int count) {
    		super();
    		this.count = count;
    	}
     
    	public int getCount() {
    		return count;
    	}
     
     
    }

    For future reference, please wrap your codes in the code tags.

    See the API for String - does it contain a setTypeface method with those parameters?

    You cannot call a method that does not exists. The text variable is of type String, and it does not contain that method.
