What's going on?
package com.sixtytendev.funfacts;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import org.w3c.dom.Text;
public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
//Declare/assign to variables
final TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String fact = "Ostriches can run faster than horses?";
factLabel.setText(fact);
}
};
showFactButton.OnClickListener(listener);
}
It's all imported properly.

you need to type factButton.setOnClickListener instead of what you are using ( factButton.onClickListener)
change it to setOnClickListener, and you should be fine.

13,774 PointsAre you sure that's all of your code?
If so, you are missing a closing brace for the class definition
put another "}" at the end of the file

8,586 PointsThe error is 'Error:(31, 23) error: cannot find symbol method OnClickListener(OnClickListener).' Line 31 is when it's called, 23 when it's declared.
