It's simple: declare the widget variables (editText, textView, button etc.) in class but initialize it in onCreate after setContentView.

The problem is when you try to access a widget of a layout first you have to declare the layout. Declaring the layout is setContentView. And when you initialize the widget variable via findViewById you are accessing the id of the widget in the main layout in the setContentView.

I hope you get it!
