First: Apologies if this question has been asked several times already. I just couldn't find a fix.
Compiler in android studio returns "1 error":
Button button_go2activity findViewById(R.id.button_go2activity);
Error code: variable 'button_go2activity' never assigned
This is confusing to me. I also have another button, which I assigned the same (and which works fine). I also tried to add the variable 'button' in the strings.xml (although it works with the other button without that declaration).
Please see the code attached. Many thanks for your help.
Best, Constantin
