Hi, thanks for sharing your code, but when i try to launch the project, it crashes with the error code:"Failed parsing overlays". And in the MainActivity it says:"Cannot resolve symbol R" at Oncreate bundle. I asked my teachers if they knew what the solution was but they don't know. So i'm hoping if you could heb me.
Also at private Button button is says:"Field can be converted to a local variable".
I'm pretty new to java :p

[@tritiumgaming4554]

This is 3 years late, but that's quite a common issue. It occurs sometimes when migrating imports or deleting imports of a class. You'll want to specify your Resources library through 'import .R' or something of the like. Once you do that, you'll have access to the 'R' class for static calls like 'R.id.textview'.
You might also need to just revalidate your files by Cleaning your Build, Rebuilding your project, Reloading From Disk or by restarting your PC.
If that fails, you may have something wrong with your build, and in that case, I have no idea how to help lol.
