    getAnswerButton.setOnClickListener(new view.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            String answer="yes";

Hi Natansh! from your code snippet I can see you are using the lowercase V version of View. We need to use the uppercase version to get the correct answer!

Also I assume you've closed your curly braces, bracket and delimited (This -> });) at the end of your getAnswerButton.setOnClickListener declaration!

Hope that Helps!
