Hi,

Are you using the newest version of Android Studio? There seem to be some significant differences here. I'm using the newest version and found that I needed to open the content_fun_facts.xml file (in the same folder in the project as activity_fun_facts.xml) in order to be able to select text.

Same here: I'm in Android Studio 1.5 and I needed to open the content_fun_facts.xml file to access the text.

What version is being used in the video?

I'd like to switch to that version so I can have a smoother learning experience.
