In my FunFactsActivity.java,
the factTextView is displayed in red. When I do alt + enter, I get a dropdown option of Create id value resource 'factTextView' Create field 'factTextView' Rename reference ------------- Insert App Indexing API code Move assignment to field declaration.
Which one should I choose, and what can I do to fix the code?
Below is what I have:
mFactTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);

Error is coming because it could not get reference.
Go to your main_xml file or whatever name you have given.
In that file go to TextView and check what ID name you have assigned.
Id name and the name in the java file should be same i.e factTextView.
Happy coding:)

think this as selector in html&css
