ok your initial answer is almost correct:

you had:

Button getAnswerButton = (Button) findButtonById(R.id.Button1);

the problems with the above code is you used the wrong method (there is no findButtonById method). you nee to use findViewById. the ID is also button1, not Button1. capitalization matters.

Button getAnswerButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
