I seem to be having a problem with a syntax error within Eclipse while doing one of the tutorials from the Android for Dummies book. It’s probably something simple, but I keep looking at the code and it seems right to me.. Here’s a screenshot. Ah, I can’t post images as I’m a new user. Here are the jpg links instead.

I can’t figure out why Eclipse is giving me those three lines as an error. When I hover over it, it says that I’m missing a } or maybe I have too many, but I think I’ve accounted for all of them! When I remove those four lines starting with the second @Override, everything parse out correctly. Here it is without those lines.

    It’s a clever typo, but if you look very closely.

    protected void onListItemClick(ListItem 1, ...

    has it’s first parameter as a ListItem, but it has a variable name as the numeral 1, not the letter l. Since a variable name isn’t allowed to start with a digit, the parameter list is not valid, so the method declaration is not valid, and hence the block under it is not properly opened.

    It’s obvious you meant the letter l as it is used within the block.
