Whats Wrong?

The code is telling me that I have a error, But I can't find it! Can any one figure out whats wrong? import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.TextView;

public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

    // Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
    TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
    Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.factButtonView);
}

}

make sure the id of the button is the same as given in the challenge.

in other words replace 

Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.factButtonView);

with

Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
