title: Android Studio: Error finding symbol "Spinner"
body: <p>I've been messing around with Android Studio lately. I tried to make an app to get user input and store it in a database, but it keeps giving me this error:</p>
  <pre><code>    error: cannot find symbol
          Spinner spinnerName = findViewById(R.id.nameOfTheDropdown); // It's in my MainActivity Class
                                               ^
    symbol:   variable nameOfTheDropdown
    location: class id
  </code></pre>
  <p>I've been struggling with this for a very long time.</p>
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
