You need to write- Name = (TextView)findviewbyid(R.id.name);

So just right R.id before sepicifying the Id name

The argument of findViewById should be an id like R.id.id_in_xml. You are passing a variable that is already defined as TextView as an argument of findViewById, hence the error.

You should write it as follows.

lblName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lblName);
lblEmail = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lblEmail);

I'm not sure of the ids, you may have to change it.

Also Make sure the id is right and the TextView exists in the xml file. If it doesn't you will run into a NullPointerException.
