Hello there! Challenge is merely simple which tells you to create a Button named showFactButton (aka initialize it) and cast it and assign the button view to it, right? Hence your code should look like:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {

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

        // Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
        TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
        Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
    }
}

OR (thats how it should look like Kotlin)

import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView

class FunFactsActivity : Activity {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts)

        // Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
        val factLabel = findViewById(R.id.factTextView) as TextView
        val showFactButton = findViewById(R.id.showFactButton) as Button
    }
}

I hope it helped!
