Question

I am following the tutorial from the book “Android Programming Tutorials, 3rd Edition”.

In lesson number 3 “A Fancier Form” I experience some problems within Eclipse.

The author says to add the following line of code:

public String getType(){
return(type);
    }
public void setType(String type) {        
this.type=type;

Which results in having the following code:

package apt.tutorial;

public class Restaurant { 
    private String name=""; 
    private String address=""; 
    public String getName() { return(name); } 
    public void setName(String name) { this.name=name; } 
    public String getAddress() { return(address); } 
    public void setAddress(String address) { this.address=address; } 
    public String getType(){ return(type); } 
    public void setType(String type) { this.type=type; } 
}

eclipse gives me the following errors:
For the first “Type” I get type cannot be resolved to a variable.
For the second “Type” I get type cannot be resolved or is not a field.

I hope someone can explain me which steps to take to fix this.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need to add “type” variable to your class.

Example:

public class Restaurant {   
    private String name="";     
    private String address="";   
    private String type="";
    ............
}
