// Declare our View variables and assign them the views from the Layout file
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) {
// The button was clicked so update the fact label with a new fact.
String fact = "Salsa e mai rapida decat bachata.";
factLabel.setText(fact);
}
};
showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
It doesn't recognize factTextView and showFactButton

Have you got your XML layout file you could paste in please. Your code looks fine to me, the problem must lie with a difference in the id's (I suspect the name is slightly different in your XML file) if you've checked this and it's all okay try cleaning and rebuilding the project. Sometimes it likes to throw a wobbly with R.
Thanks Daniel

Courses Plus Student 30,936 PointsHi Razvan,
Try to add factLabel as global variable like class member. declare mFactLabel before "onCreate" method. and use it in the onClick method
