I’ve put in a finally statement, but I get Syntax error, I don’t have

  • 0

I’ve put in a “finally” statement, but I get Syntax error, I don’t have any idea on how to correct them, I’ve tried everything, but to no avail. My class get’s the string from the two edit text fields, if the checkbox is checked it saves the two strings to a file, to be called up later, then, if there’s nothing in the edit text’s, it displays a toast. If it’s their first time, their data(user and pass it saved) and, if they’ve done this before via checking the file, it goes to another class via an intent. Oh, sorry for my bad code, I’m a new Java programmer and I’m trying to make it as neat as possible. Secondly, if there’s a better way to code, than I’ve done, please feel free to change it,

Thanks.

    You don’t close the second catch statement :

    } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
    
    }  //<=HERE ADD }
                finally  {
    

    Common structure is :

    try{
    }
    catch(...){  // since jdk7 you can put all your exception on one line
    }
    finally{
    }
    

    EDIT :

    and replace :

    else {
    
            if (staySignedIn.isChecked()) {
    

    by

     else if (staySignedIn.isChecked()) {
