Move the declaration of
String[] namesinsetLable()beforetryblock and similarly move the return statement after catch e.g.Please note: If there is any exception before the population of
names, then it will returnnull. Also I removed thethrowsas you are handling the exception(printing the message).Lastly, method name doesn’t sound appropriate. It should be better named as
getLablesorgetLableNames.You need to use the
String[]of lables to set the the string as:
