Capitalization matters, so you should have Button instead of button.

Java is case-sensitive. So it's important that write code in that way. Like the 

//Notice how it is written like TextView and not like textview. Java interprets it 
//as two totally different things.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />


//Now as for the button, that should be adjusted since you wrote it like this
<button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
