Save EditText to ArrayList in Android Studio - EDIT 1

I am attempting to take Input Text from a EditText field, save the String and then add/save it to an ArrayList I have in another java class. (My MainActivity displays all the facts I have stored in the ArrayList, which works.) Adding new String to ArrayList from EditText does not work though.

Thanks for the help!

  1. FactBook.java

     public class FactBook {
 public ArrayList<String> mFacts = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(
         "Quote 1",
         "Quote 2"));

 public String getFact() {

     String fact = "";
     Random randomGenerator = new Random();
     int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(mFacts.size());
     fact = mFacts.get(randomNumber);
     return fact;
 }

 public void addFact(String thought) {
     mFacts.add(thought);
 };

  2. InputActivity.java

     public class InputActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 private Button mSaveButton;
 private EditText mTextThought;
 private FactBook mFactBook = new FactBook();


 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_input);
 Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
 setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

 mSaveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);
 mTextThought = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.thoughtText);


 View.OnClickListener click = new View.OnClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onClick(View view) {
         String thought = mTextThought.getText().toString().trim();
         mFactBook.addFact(thought);
         Toast.makeText(InputActivity.this, "Your thought has been added!!",
                 Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
         mTextThought.setText("");

     }
 };

 mSaveButton.setOnClickListener(click);
 } 
 }

You addFact method should be,

 public void addFact(String thought) {
     this.mFacts.add(thought);
 }

public void addFact(String thought) {
    this.addFact(thought);

maybe you should change your code like this:

public void addFact(String thought) {
    mFacts.addFact(thought);}

I think there is a problem with your code. Shouldn't the addFact code be this : 

public void addFact(String thought) {
        mFacts.addFact(thought);
};
