What error messages are you getting in Android studio? Your post title suggests you're having an issue with the given id for Android TextField or maybe a warning given from the console.
Try refactoring your TextField's id slightly by including the id prefix in the value... like this
android:id="@+id/yourGivenId"

4,205 PointsHi Jonathan. I finally saw my error. I used the android:id twice.
<TextView android:id="@android:id/empty" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
is the solution.
