Question

Android Java project, minimal code to reproduce the problem:

Constants.java:

package alex.restaurantfinder;

public class Constants {
    public static final String LOGTAG = "...";
}

ReviewCriteria.java:

package alex.restaurantfinder;
import android.app.Activity;

public class ReviewCriteria extends Activity {
    static String s = Constants.LOGTAG;            // error
}

Error message:

Constants.LOGTAG cannot be resolved.

Where is my error?

Edit.
The problem was, when I pressed Ctrl+Shft+O in Eclipse, it added this line:

import android.provider.SyncStateContract.Constants;

It prevented compiler to work with my own Constants class.

Answer 1

I think there might be another Class called Constants that is imported automatically.

can you try using the fully qualified name alex.restaurantfinder.Constants.LOGTAG?
