We started with our layout where we created our button.

Then we made a variable for it in our activity class, and

we set that variable in the last code challenge.

But there's still one more step to make our button work.

I'll start by adding the code from the code challenge.

I'll type showF and then hit enter or tab to auto complete.

Then I'll set it = findViewById(R.id.showFactButton)

hit ALT+Enter to add the cast and it looks like I need to move that around and

there we go, ALT+Enter to add the cast and finish with a semicolon.

Now, it's time to make our button do something.

On a new line, type showFactButton and

remember that we can use enter or tab to auto complete.

Now, if we type a dot, we get a new menu for auto complete suggestions.

These are all methods available to a button object.

As we start typing, methods that don't match will be filtered out.

Let's type setOn.

We see the setOn click listener method near the top of our list.

That's also the method we're looking for, so let's select it.

An OnClickListener is exactly what it sounds like.

It's something that listens for the button to be clicked, or tapped.

Clicked and tapped mean the same thing when we're talking about a touch screen.

When the listener detects a click,

it then runs some code that we've given it ahead of time.

A setOnClickListener method is expecting a parameter

that is another new data type on ClickListener.

That's what this call out is telling us.

if you lose this call out somehow, simply hover over that error and

we can see the inside of these parenthesis is supposed to be an on ClickListener.

The listener parameter we provide here will be connected to our showFact button.

It doesn't exist yet, so let's add a line above this one and

start typing OnClickListener with a capital O.

Notice that there's more than one type of OnClickListener.

This first one is for a view and the second one is for a dialogue interface.

But how do we know which one of these we should choose?

There's actually a couple different ways we can get more information about

objects and methods like this one.

One way is to Google the class name, button, and

then the method we're looking for, setOnClickListener.

This first link is to the official Android Documentation.

Let's open it, and then use Cmd or

Ctrl + F to find where it mentions setOnClickListener.

Right at the top, there's some sample code for a button, and

it looks like it's using the OnClickListener from the View class.

Back in Android Studio,

we can use a shortcut to get at the documentation as well.

Let's click on setOnClickListener, and then use F1 for

Mac, or Ctrl+Q for Windows.

This brings up the quick documentation dialogue, and

again, we can see that we're looking for the OnClickListener from the view class.

Now that we know which OnClickListener to use, let's go back up here and

keep typing to bring back auto-complete.

Then let's select the View.OnClickListener and

notice the Android studio makes it very clear which OnClickListener we chose.

This way we can avoid any confusion between the different

On Click Listener classes.

Next, we need to name our listener and then set it equal to something.

Let's name it something descriptive, like listener.

Then type space equals space, new, another space and

then type on click listener with a capital o and hit enter to auto complete.

Whoa, it just dropped in a lot of code for us.

This is all the code that's required to create an on click listener.

But we still need to end our statement with a semicolon, so

before we forget let's add a semicolon after this last bracket.

This may seem like a lot, but that's why we have auto complete.

It's a lot easier to use auto complete than it is to remember all of that.

Before we move on, let's quickly copy our listener variable and

paste it down here as the parameter for setOnClickListener.

And now that there's no error let's take a short break before we finish our listener.
