Android Build a Simple Android App (2014) Creating the Screen Layout Adding a Button

Emulator not reflecting work, tried clean & rebuild, restarted emulator.

I've done everything to this point, but the emulator is only showing the ;Dud you know' at the top of the Fun Facts app. I've tried using Clean and Rebuild options--I even restarted the emulator twice. Any idea why this is happening? I could probably move on but I suspect this could be an issue in the future. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am assuming you mean the XML here. it is below.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".FunFactsActivity" android:id="@+id/">

<TextView
    android:text="Did you know?"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/textView2"
    android:textSize="24sp" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning."
    android:id="@+id/factTextView"
    android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textView2"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:textSize="24sp" />

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Show another fun fact!"
    android:id="@+id/showFactButton"
    android:textSize="24sp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

</RelativeLayout>
