18,106 PointsAs Andrew has pointed out make sure you type R.id. first then see what auto complete comes up with (use Ctrl + space to force auto complete to appear if it doesn't automatically).
Also make sure your XML file where you declared your id's is saved first as changes don't take effect until you save the changes to your XML file.
If all the above fails try going to Build - Rebuild project (or possibly clean project dependent on which version of android studio you have), this will rebuild your project and refresh everything.
Hope this helps Daniel

3,245 PointsIs it showing anything when you type R. ? When you type R. it should show a list of options like:
- class
- attri
- dimen
- drawable
- id
If that is what you're seeing all you need to do is type R.id. and then you should see a list of your IDs.
So instead of R.showFactButton you need to type R.id.showFactButton
