2,509 PointsHi everyone, i don't know why a red line is showing in my code,
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { Strong[] facts; { "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning.", "Ostriches can run faster than horses.", "Olympic gold medals are actually made mostly of silver.", "You are born with 300 bones; by the time you are an adult you will have 206.", "It takes about 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth.", "Some bamboo plants can grow almost a meter in just one day.", "The state of Florida is bigger than England.", "Some penguins can leap 2-3 meters out of the water.", "On average, it takes 66 days to form a new habit.", "Mammoths still walked the earth when the Great Pyramid was being built." };
In between the quotations and the curly brace brake at the end, there is a red line and I don't know why

try this
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override public void onClick(View view) {
Strong[] facts = { "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning.", "Ostriches can run faster than horses.", "Olympic gold medals are actually made mostly of silver.", "You are born with 300 bones; by the time you are an adult you will have 206.", "It takes about 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth.", "Some bamboo plants can grow almost a meter in just one day.", "The state of Florida is bigger than England.", "Some penguins can leap 2-3 meters out of the water.", "On average, it takes 66 days to form a new habit.", "Mammoths still walked the earth when the Great Pyramid was being built." };
