Casting Error (or lack of)

I'm using Android Studio 3.0 Beta 2 (released August 10, 2017). When I assign the factTextView I do not receive the error seen in the video. In fact, if I do cast to TextView I get a warning that 

casting findViewById(R.id.factTextView) to TextView is redundant

edit: same for assigning the Button. No error, and the "redundant" message when I do.

Ben Deitch ... just an FYI for maybe a "Callout" or a Teacher's note. :smiley:

:dizzy:

O fun... I love when things change right after we release something :). I've added a note about it in the Teacher's Notes, and we'll try to get a more permanent fix before too long. Thanks for the heads up!
