I can't cast findViewById method

This is the message that I see: textView1 cannot be resolved or is not a field. And there are 2 options:

  • create field 'textView1' int type 'id'
  • create constant 'textView1' int type 'id'

When I try with one of these, eclipse can't create it...

How can I fix it? Thanks!

I guess the id of the TextView is not textView1, matbe textView? or perhaps you just named it after the function, which btw is very good way to keep habit. Check out the id in the xml.
