Why are you using the final keyword? I think that is the source of your problem. Remove that and I would be that everything will work out.
In java, "final" is more-or-less equivalent to "const" in c++. Since you are setting this variable every time a button is clicked I don't think you want to set this to final. I am curious though... what exactly is the error that you are getting? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
