Question

I’m reading Android Application Developement for Dummies and i’m at Chapter 9 where I’m writing a Task reminder app. I have a onListItemClick method, but Eclipse keeps giving errors….

package com.dummies.android.taskreminder;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.*;

    public class ReminderListActivity extends ListActivity {
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.reminder_list);




            String[] items = new String[] { "Foo", "Bar", "Fizz", "Bin" };


            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter =
                new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.reminder_row, R.id.text1, items);
            setListAdapter(adapter); 

            @Override
            protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
                super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
            }


        }
    }

my error: my error

Eclipse says:
“View cannot be resolved to a type”
“Syntax erroe on token ….. expected” (5x)
“void is an invalid type for the variable onListItemClick”

What did I do wrong?

try this

package com.dummies.android.taskreminder;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.*;

    public class ReminderListActivity extends ListActivity {
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.reminder_list);

            String[] items = new String[] { "Foo", "Bar", "Fizz", "Bin" };

            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter =
                new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.reminder_row, R.id.text1, items);
            setListAdapter(adapter); 
        }

        @Override
        protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
            super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
        }

    }
