I try to solve the task, but get an error message. What is wrong with my code?
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
protected Button exterminateButton;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Declare our view variables
exterminateButton.findViewById(button1);
}
}
