import android.widget.TextView;
public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
// Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showfactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showfactButton);

- You need another } at the end, so that both your method and your class are closed.
- instead of showfactButton, you want it to be showFactButton (Java is case-sensitive.)
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
// Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showfactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
}
}
Hope that helped!
