title: Adding an activity: cannot resolve method 'findViewByID(int)'
body: <p>I'm following the tutorial at <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html</a> and have done everything exactly as instructed in this and all preceding tutorials under "Building Your First App" in Android Studio v. 1.1.0.</p>
  
  <p>My code in MyActivity.java:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.embeddedspring2015.jstrickling.myfirstapp;
  
  import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.view.Menu;
  import android.view.MenuItem;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.widget.EditText;
  
  
  public class MyActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
  
      public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.embeddedspring2015.jstrickling.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
  
      }
  
  
      @Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
          getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_my, menu);
          return true;
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
          // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
          // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
          // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
          int id = item.getItemId();
  
          //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
          if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
              return true;
          }
  
          return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
      }
  
      @Override
      // Called when the user clicks the Send button
      public void sendMessage(View view) {
          Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
          EditText editText = (EditText) findViewByID(R.id.edit_message);
          String message = editText.getText().toString();
          intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
          startActivity(intent);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to run the app, I get the error "cannot find symbol method findViewByID(int)"</p>
  
  <p>All of the other files are untouched after being created by Android Studio or changed as directed by the tutorial. I have searched for anyone else who encountered this but nobody seems to have asked about this exact issue.</p>
