Fun Facts has stopped

I'm seeing several other questions relating this issue, but none really solve my problem or are never answered, so I'm asking it here again.

After adding the colorWheel to the app I'm getting an error. If I run the app, it shows up, but after clicking the button "Show another fun fact", the app shuts down and throws an error popup window saying "Fun Facts has stopped". This is what is showing in the Logcat:

Ok, found the problem. Turns out I did have a problem in my code. It was in FunFactsActivity.java in the onClickListener. I wrote showFactButton.setText(color); where it should have been showFactButton.setTextColor(color); Doh!
