Why do my changes not show when I run the Fun Facts app.

After updating the text and changing the TextView id and the Button id as in the video, my emulation still appears as the initial blank app. I have saved and then attempted to run to no avail.

Hey Donnie! Could you include your Activity code as well?

Hi Ben,

I lost all of my work on this one and had to recode it after my browser crashed. When I put it in again. It seemed to work.

Thanks!
