Fun Facts: My button and text on fun fact disappears when i click on button :S. Please help!

I checked my code with the tutorials and I couldn't find what I was doing wrong. When I click on the 'show another fact' button on my app, it disappears and a vertical white box says '5showanotherfact'. Does anyone know where I could look to try and fix this? Thank you.

*I attempted to add a screenshot but I don't think its possible here.

It's difficult to say without looking at your code but try looking to make sure your Button is referencing your Button id and FactLabel is referencing your text view. Also make sure that you are setting text correctly with factLabel.setText(fact).

        final TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
        final Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);

        factLabel.setText(fact);

Hope this helps.
