Error during compiling program for tft display with arduino

Other Hardware Displays

Hi there!

I have purchased a cheap Chinese mcufriend 2.4-inch TFT display and after a long fuss, I have successfully got libraries and test it by compiling and running examples code given in libraries.
But After that I tried to compile my basic custom code but it doesn't compile...

I am a noob in terms of Arduino...Please help...

My code is-

#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SPITFT.h>
#include <Adafruit_SPITFT_Macros.h>
#include <gfxfont.h>


#define BLACK 0x0000
#define BLUE 0x001F
#define RED 0xF800
#define GREEN 0x07E0
#define CYAN 0x07FF
#define MAGENTA 0xF81F
#define YELLOW 0xFFE0
#define WHITE 0xFFFF

void setup(void) 
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
    uint16_t ID = tft.readID();
    if (ID == 0xD3) ID = 0x9481;
    tft.begin(ID);
    tft.setRotation(0);
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
    
    
}

void loop() 
{
  tft.fillScreen(WHITE);
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 
}

During compiling it shows following error-

sketch_jan07a:36: error: 'tft' was not declared in this scope

tft.fillScreen(WHITE);

^

exit status 1
'tft' was not declared in this scope

Your program should be:

#include <MCUFRIEND_kbv.h>         //include library

MCUFRIEND_kbv tft;                 //constructor

void setup(void)
{
    uint16_t ID = tft.readID();
    if (ID == 0xD3D3) ID = 0x9481;
    tft.begin(ID);
    tft.setRotation(0);            //Portrait
    // put your setup code here, to run once:   
}

void loop()
{
    tft.fillScreen(TFT_WHITE);     //normally in setup()
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 
}

You would normally put the fillScreen() line in setup()
and put your drawing code in loop()
probably with a delay() to stop the loop() being called too often.

Thanks Sir...
It works...
