Question - Initialize the getAnswerButton variable using the findViewById() method like the TextView above it. The ID for the button is 'button1', and don't forget to cast it to a Button with '(Button)'!
My Answer - Button getAnswerButton = (Button) findviewById(R.id.button1);

Button getAnswerButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
