Errors when I try to run fun facts

After the Adding the onClick() Method video, I get errors, can somebody please help me?

public class FunFacts extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

    //Declare our view variables and assign the views from the layout files
    final TextView factlabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.facttextView);
    Button showfactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ShowFactbutton);
    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            // The button was clicked, so update the fact label with a new fact
            String fact = "Ostriches can run faster than horses";
            factlabel.setText(fact);

        }
    }
    showfactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);


}

I think you are missing a ";" I'd comment where it is so you can add it...above showfactButton..

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

    //Declare our view variables and assign the views from the layout files
    final TextView factlabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.facttextView);
    Button showfactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ShowFactbutton);
    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            // The button was clicked, so update the fact label with a new fact
            String fact = "Ostriches can run faster than horses";
            factlabel.setText(fact);

        }
    }; // <- HERE

    showfactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);


}
