App Crashes after clicking Show another fact button

Question

I am using android studio 3.6.2 I had an earlier problem as well where I couldn't find the R file that contained the id's but I assumed it exists and moved on. I have the same code as Ben, and there are no red lines or errors but when I run the app on the emulator it works until I click the show another fact button then the application just closes, but no errors come up in the even log. I have included my MainActivity.java file below and the activity_main.xml below as well.

xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#51B46D" android:padding="50dp" tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Did You Know?"
    android:textColor="#80FFFFFF"
    android:textSize="24sp" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/funFactText"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
    android:text="Ants strech when they wake up in the morning."
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
    android:textSize="24sp" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/showFactButton"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
    android:background="@android:color/background_light"
    android:text="Show Another Fact"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

Main java code

package appExample.com;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { // Declare View variables private TextView factTextView; private Button showFactButton; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Assign the Views from layout file to the corresponding variables
    factTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
    showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton);
    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // The button was clicked so update the fact TextView with a new fact
            String fact = "Ostriches can run faster than horses";
            factTextView.setText(fact);
        }
    };
    showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}

}
