title: My Android application cannot find buttons declared in the XML file
body: <p>My application was working fine before reading in XML objects but now I have added to the two buttons and a textview to it it's having a problem finding them.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/mLNGV.png" alt=""></p>
  
  <p>So I added the three objects there for more control of my application and the activity class cannot find them</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class TVListingTestActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener 
  {
  private static final String TAG = "myApp";
  
  private EditText infoView;
  private String result;
  private String full;
  
  public int count;
  
  final Context context =this;
  
  private LinkedList&lt;Widget&gt; aList;
  private LinkedList&lt;String&gt; stringList;
  private LinkedList&lt;Button&gt; buttons;
  
  private Button forwardDay;
  private Button backDay;
  private TextView display;
  
  private int dayParse= 0;
  private String tvListingURL;
  
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
      stringList = new LinkedList&lt;String&gt;();
  
      infoView= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.infoView);
      tvListingURL = "http://bleb.org/tv/data/rss.php?ch=bbc1_scotland&amp;day="+dayParse;
  
      forwardDay=(Button)findViewById(R.id.forwardbutton);
      backDay=(Button)findViewById(R.id.backbutton);
      display=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.displayview);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The resources seem to be showing up in the R file so I cannot understand what the problem is. Has anyone encounterd anything like this before?</p>
  
  <pre><code>package org.me.myandroidstuff;
  
  public final class R {
  public static final class array {
      public static final int shows=0x7f040000;
  }
  public static final class attr {
  }
  public static final class drawable {
      public static final int icon=0x7f020000;
  }
  public static final class id {
      public static final int back=0x7f060002;
      public static final int cspinner=0x7f060007;
