Is there an issue with my Android studio?

I type 'TextView' and 'Button' but it appears in red. If I hover my mouse over it receive an error "Cannot resolve symbol 'button'".

This is what I have so far...

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

        // Declare our View variables
        TextView factLabel = findViewById();
        Button showFactButton;
    }

I know it shouldn't have an error because in the tutorial it doesn't appear as an error.

Hi Danny,

I had the same problem. Just click in the red writing and hit "Alt + Enter", and "Enter" again and it should import the correct folder automatically and the red should go away.

If you have any questions or problem, shoot right back.
