Apps cannot find symbol method findViewById(int)

[jon80]

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.sample_action) {
clearLog();
}

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
editText.setText('X', null);

return true;
}
Error67, 40) error: cannot find symbol method findViewById(int)

Am I missing an import statement?

Can I switch off emocticons and include <code> tags in this forum, so that they can be pasted within IDEs?

Try [code=java]

Did you import what you need for that method? Also try View.findViewById or Activity.findViewById if nothing works.

You can also use the [plain][/plain] tags to disable BBcode on a block of text.
