my code is copied word for word as on the video, except factTextView is not recognized by AndroidStudio in this specific line of code.

6,374 PointsMarsrur I just ran into this problem and after beating my head trying to figure it out it hit me what was wrong. The (R.id.FactTextView) refers to the actual id you assigned to the text in the design view. If you go to the design view and click on the text that says "Ants grow in size ..." if the id is not set to factTextView you will continue to get the red underlines. My problem was it was set to the default id of "textView" and when i would type the id. the words "factTextView" would not come up and instead just textView". It wasn't until i changed the id to "factTextView" that it would pop up. Hope it makes sense and you figure it out.

think this as selector in html&css
