Question

while trying to create a progressbar in android i came across this problem.
i am following this example : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html

my problem is that one of my methods i want to call has to be inside a try and catch
how do i do that inside of a runnable?

Runnable SendThread = new Runnable() 
{
    try 
    {
        GetAndConvertImagesToPdf();
        mProgStatus = 30;
        mProgress.setProgress(mProgStatus);
        title.setText(R.string.sendingTitle);

    } 
    catch (DocumentException e) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
    catch (IOException e) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
};

i get this error:

“Syntax error on token try, delete this token”

how can i resolve this?

thank you

Answer 1

u put the try in the class body its not in any method or block

this is more like it

Runnable SendThread = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        try {
            GetAndConvertImagesToPdf();
            mProgStatus = 30;
            mProgress.setProgress(mProgStatus);
            title.setText(R.string.sendingTitle);
        } 
        catch (DocumentException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
        catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
};
