Java

PLEASE HELP ! cannot resolve method 'setText(java.lang.String)

package nubistudios.didyouknow;

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

public class DidYouKnowActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_did_you_know);

    //Declare our view variables and assign them the views from the layout file
    final View factLabel = findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
    Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view){
            // The button was clicked, so update the fact label with a new fact
            String fact = "Like fingerprints, everyone has a different tongue print";
            factLabel.setText(fact);
        }
    };
    showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.did_you_know, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

This is my absolute first time programming doing the exact same way shown in the tutorials on Teamtreehouse.com but this is the one error i have..when i type factLabel.setText(fact); the only suggestions that pop up are setTextAlignment or setTextDirection

Hey James,

I think you should ask this question in the android forum
