757 PointsCannot find symbol (Android)
Hello, it appears that I've entered everything correctly, however, I get an error stating Cannot find symbol.
Here's my code:
public class MealActivity extends Activity {
public TextView foodLabel;
public TextView drinkLabel;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);
foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);
mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
foodLabel.setTextColor = Color.BLUE;
drinkLabel.setTextColor = Color.GRAY;
}
}

foodLabel.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
drinkLabel.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
