Hi Chrigi, except for for the id name and the string name the button is an exact copy of button1 + 2. Eclipse accepts both popup_new and R.id.button3, it turns the text blue. Doesn't that mean it has found them? If I put // in front of the 4 buttons that doesn't seem to work the popup window works and the buttons show but nothing happens when you click them of course.
I tried to make a new button and assigned it the same value as button 1 and then after the findViewById for button3 I assigned it the value of button3 and then the value was null. But you already knew that. Then I tried to make a new xml file like popup_new but with a different name, but still the same problem. I also tried to change the name of the id in the xml file and myButtonTest1.java. Do you think it could be R.layout.popup_new that is faulty or the findviewbyid?
