Where am I supposed to place the assignment for the button?

I get this error when I try to compile:Bummer! Make sure you are setting the button in the correct lifecycle method for a Fragment! ''' import android.app.Fragment; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.Button;

public class PhotoFragment extends Fragment {

public Button mDeleteButton;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  mDeleteButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
    return rootView;
}

}

You need to move your code to the onCreateView() method. This is the method that initializes the fragment view.

mDeleteButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);

Thank you!I have to learn more about rootView now
