findViewById not recognized

Question

this is part of my function, android studio isnt recognizing the findViewById function. can anyone please help me figure out the problem is?\

 public void onClick(View v) {
                p1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.p1);
                p2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.p2);
                if (v.getId() == R.id.btnrock) {
                    if (player1.equals("")) {
                        player1 = "rock";
                        if (p1.getText().toString().length() == 0 || p2.getText().toString().length() == 0) {
                            Toast.makeText(c, "fill both names", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                        if (p1.getText().toString().equals(p2.getText().toString())&&p2.getText().toString().length()!=0) {
                            Toast.makeText(c, "use different names", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                        if (p2.getText().toString().length()!=0)score.setText("now "+ p2.getText());
                    }
                    else {
                        if (player1.equals("rock"))
                            score.setText("its a tie");
                        if (player1.equals("paper"))
                            score.setText(p1.getText() + " won");
                        if (player1.equals("scissors"))
                            score.setText(p2.getText() + " won");
                        if (player1.equals("lizard"))
                            score.setText(p2.getText() + " won");
                        if (player1.equals("spock"))
                            score.setText(p1.getText() + " won");
                        player1="";
                    }

Is that code in a `Fragment`, perhaps? Have a look at [findViewById in Fragment](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6495898/findviewbyid-in-fragment) then. — Markus Kauppinen, Oct 03 '19 at 12:06

If you are in Fragment

You have to use the View v object to access the findviewById() method Here is how you would get it, also note that (EditText) cast is redundant

    public void onClick(View v) {
                    p1 =  v.findViewById(R.id.p1);
                    p2 =  v.findViewById(R.id.p2);
    .
    .
    .
    .....
}
