This an extra credit "Random Acts of Kindness" under Basic Android Programming course with following task: See if you can figure out how to add messages to the TextView based on the random numbers you are generating. Congratulate the user for certain numbers with messages like, "Surprise! You win!" or "Nice job pressing that button, superstar!"

                String fact = "";
                //Randomly select a fact
                Random randomGenerator = new Random(); // Construct a new random generator
                int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(3);
                fact = randomNumber + "";
                if (randomNumber = 0){ //Error - Required: boolean Found: int
                    fact = "text1";
                }
                else if (randomNumber = 1){ //Error - Required: boolean Found: int
                    fact = "text2";
                }
                else if (randomNumber = 2){ //Error - Required: boolean Found: int
                    fact = "text3";
                }
                //Update the label with our randomly generated text
                factLabel.setText(fact);
            }
        };

This works :)

String fact = "";
                //Randomly select a fact
                Random randomGenerator = new Random(); // Construct a new random generator
                int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(3);
                if (randomNumber == 0) {
                    fact = "text1";
                }
                else if (randomNumber == 1) {
                    fact = "text2";
                }
                else if (randomNumber == 2) {
                    fact = "text3";
                }
                //Update the label with our randomly generated text
                factLabel.setText(fact);
