The code you posted looks okay...can you post your entire MainActivity.java file as well as your activity_main.xml file? On the off chance that it's simply something wrong with how your R file is being generated, try cleaning and rebuilding your project. In the menu at the top, select Project > Clean... and then select your Crystal Ball project.

If we can't help you in the forum, you can always zip up your project code and email it to help@teamtreehouse.com for us to take a look.
