findViewById() question
<p>I don't consider myself a beginner, but my copy and pasting has left me lost in auto-generated errors. Here's my dilemma, if I remove the comments below the program crashes unexpectedly; with comments it displays just fine.</p>

<pre><code>//////// Options.java /////  
public class Options extends Activity {  
/** Called when the activity is first created. */  
    @Override  
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
        setContentView(R.layout.reclayout);  
        //Button STO = (Button)findViewById(R.id.StopBut);  
        //Button REC = (Button)findViewById(R.id.RecButton);  
    }  
}
