package com.example.funfacts;

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 { //delcare our 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 the layout file to the corresponding variables make sure to not assign the views until after doing the call setcontentview
    factTextView = findViewById(R.id.facttextView2);
    showFactButton = findViewById(R.id.showfactbutton);
    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            //the button was clicked, so update the fact textview with a new fact
            string fact ="Ostriches can run faster than horses";
            factTextView.setText(fact);

        }
