57,712 PointsJust got round to checking that in code. It works fine.
I've added a member variable for the layout, of type RelativeLayout, then assigned an id to the layout in the XML.
Here's my adjustments to the Fun Fact app ...
<RelativeLayout ...
.
.
android:id="@+id/layout">
// at the top of the class
private RelativeLayout mLayout;
// in onCreate
mLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);
// after onClick
mLayout.setOnClickListener(listener);
That works fine.

57,712 PointsHi Meet,
On the right, there's the component tree with Properties too. On my version of Android Studio, I can show/hide this by clicking the words "component tree" in the side bar.
Let me know if that helps,
Steve.
