Android Studio mobile programming. Can't get an .xml file recognized in Java code.

[S. Eckstrom]

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I can't get the code to recognize my list_item_crime_police.xml file. Can someone help me please? (Lines 17 & 75)

public class CrimeListFragment extends Fragment {

    private class CrimeHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        private  Crime mCrime;  
        private TextView mTitleTextView;
        private TextView mDateTextView;

        // Default constructor.
        public CrimeHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            itemView.setOnClickListener((View.OnClickListener) this);

            mTitleTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.crime_title); 
            mDateTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.crime_date);

You can't compare a View directly to the ID from the R class. You need to use findViewById like you're doing for the other Views, and then use the equals method instead of the == operator.
