I've been working through an Android Application tutorial on the developer android site for quite a while, but I can't get it to work perfectly for the life of me. My DisplayMessageActivity.java is filled with errors (i.e. getting undefined methods and unresolved types) Here are my files...
MainActivity.java
package com.miller.lab3;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.mycompany.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
// Do something in response to button
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
DisplayMessageActivity.java
package com.miller.lab3;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class DisplayMessageActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Get the message from the intent
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
// Create the text view
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
// Set the text view as the activity layout
setContentView(textView);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() { }
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_display_message,
container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<Button

<EditText
android:id="@+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/edit_message" />
</RelativeLayout>
strings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Lab3</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="title_activity_display_message">My Message</string>
<string name="edit_message">Enter a message</string>
<string name="button_send">Send</string>
</resources>
I'm wondering if anyone sees anything out of the ordinary. It would be greatly appreciated if you could point it out. I heard that this may or may not be an outdated version of the tutorial and the fact that I must use eclipse to do it doesn't exactly help. Thanks in advance.
If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about here is the tutorial link http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html
