Error message 'Cannot find symbol: View'

[Christopher K Tom]

I'm new to Android development and I just started playing with Android Studio 3.1.3. I'm following a tutorial from android.developer.com and I'm on the part: Start Another Activity - Respond to the Send button. Thing is, when I add the sendMessage() method stub, I get an error message saying the symbol View cannot be found. I tried the following steps to resolve the issue but I'm not successful:

- Place the cursor on View then click ALT-ENTER but the menu Import class doesn't appear.
- I clicked File - Invalidate Caches/Restart

Any useful assistance is welcome.
