241 PointsI added the Private public class and went in under the // area field and added it like our app. What is the issue?
I used our own code as an example when writing this challenge. I wrote the private Button mshowFactsButton and then went below as you can see and tried to assign it to the variable? (I think)
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {
private Button mshowFactButton;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
// Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
Button showFactButton;
mshowFactButton = (Button);
}
}

3,732 PointsIm not really sure what you are doing with:
Button showFactButton; mshowFactButton = (Button);
if you are trying to make another button that is assigned to the private one instantiated at the top of the class. Then it would need to be something more like:
Button showFactButton; mshowFactButton = showFactButton;
It may help if I knew the goal... but I do not see anything related to the button in the comment.
