All the code you got from that answer needs to be inside a method. — Mike M., Aug 03 '16 at 04:15
Sorry i forgot to mention my goal. I want create this class to open a PDF file after being downloaded to a smartphone. So i just created a method, put that codes inside a method and it works, now the error changed to startActivity(intent); Cannot resolve method 'startActivity(android.content.intent)' — Jokurilisme, Aug 03 '16 at 05:14
