When I wrote out the Textview and Button it become red what does this mean how do I fix it and it says cannot resolve symbol when i place my mouse on on Textview and button bellow I copy and paste the code.
// Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
Textview factLabel = findViewById();
} Button showFactButton;

Your TextView has a few issues:
- You've mistyped
TextView- it needs a capital V - The returned value from the
findViewById()needs casting; add(TextView)beforefindViewById - Last, you need to reference the
id. That is probably something likeR.id.factLabelor something
Your button code will need something similar too.
You'll end up with something similar to:
TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
Steve.
