Android Studio Error: String literal in setText cannot be translated -

this first app , i'm having trouble.

when run app crashes , don't know how fix error.

public class mainactivity extends appcompatactivity {\     textview outputbottom = (textview)findviewbyid(r.id.output);  } public void play_the_big_lie(view view) {     the_big_lie.start();     outputbottom.settext("obamacare, big lie"); } 

string literal in settext cannot translated

this not error , can safely ignore (unless need translation in app).

it notification android studio should using string resource file instead of hard-coded string.

---

if had guess @ source of issue since did not post logcat, this.

you can't use findviewbyid before setcontentview because there no view "find".

please try following code

public class mainactivity extends appcompatactivity {      private textview outputbottom;          protected void oncreate(bundle b) {         super.oncreate(b);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);         outputbottom = (textview)findviewbyid(r.id.output);     }
