392 PointsWhen i click on Build>Clean Project it gives me an error Failed to complete Gradle execution.
Cause: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. The app runs on the phone but when i tap Show Another Fun Fact the backgroid stays green. Here is FunFactsActivity.java : package com.example.wili.funfacts;
import android.content.DialogInterface; import android.graphics.Color; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.Random;
public class FunFactsActivity extends ActionBarActivity { private FactBook mFactBook = new FactBook();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
//Declare our View Variables and assign the the Views from the layout file
final TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
final RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String fact = mFactBook.getFact();
//update the label with our dynamic fact
factLabel.setText("fact");
relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
}
};
showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
} And here si activity_fun_facts.xml : <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".FunFactsActivity" android:background="#51b46d" android:id="@+id/relativeLayout">
<TextView
android:text="Did you know?"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textColor="#80ffffff" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="The ants stretch when they wake up in the morning."
android:id="@+id/factTextView"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Show Another Fun Fact"
android:id="@+id/showFactButton"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="@android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>

6,628 PointsI'm pretty sure the fact that you have your TextViews and RelativeLayout set to final, whenyou first declared the class, might have something to do with your error.
