Hello,

You likely either have an item in one of your layout xml files that has an id listed as "@+id/" or you have an item that needs an id but is missing one.

If neither is the case, could you post your layout xml files so we can assist you further?

I'm guessing you have the same problem as me. I believe the first textView "Did you know?" needs an ID but the instructor didn't tell us to give it one. Just give it some ID and it should work.
