    The method setText(String) is undefined for TimePicker<\/em><\/p>\n
    TimePicker<\/code> does not have a setText() method, you have to use setCurrentHour(Integer)<\/code> and setCurrentMinute(Integer)<\/code> to change the values.<\/p>\n
    minEdit cannot be resolved or is not a field<\/em><\/p>\n
    means you are trying to access are variable with the name minEdit<\/code> but you haven’t declared it anywhere. Probably you’ve made a typo where you declared it. I actually could not find any minEdit field at your code, so I can not guess where the error really comes from.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
