Courses Plus Student 4,462 PointsNo toast showing when I run the app
So, I'm not sure why but my toast isn't showing. My code is identical to the instructors. Here it is:
package com.jackco.funfacts;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class FunFactsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private FactBook factBook = new FactBook();
private ColorWheel colorWheel = new ColorWheel();
//Declare our view variables
private TextView factTextView;
private Button showFactButton;
private RelativeLayout relativeLayout;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);
// Assign the views from the layout file to the corresponding variables
factTextView = findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
showFactButton = findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
relativeLayout = findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Get fact from FactBook class
String fact = factBook.getFact();
int color = colorWheel.getColor();
//Update the screen with our new fact
factTextView.setText(fact);
relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(color);
showFactButton.setTextColor(color);
}
};
showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
Toast.makeText(this, "Yay! Our activity was created!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Again, everything works fine, but no toast comes when I start the app. Tried closing and reopening the emulator, but that didn't work. Tried changing to LENGTH_LONG thinking I'm missing it, but that did nothing. Help?
