The constructor file(string) is not visible

Question

I get an error saying 'the constructor file[string] is not visible. Why am I getting this when I have declared both my method and class as public.

package appium1;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.file.File;

import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobilePlatform;

public class desiredcap {

@Test
public void test() {
    File appDir = new File("src");
    File app = new File(appDir, "BookMyShow.apk");

    DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
    cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM,MobilePlatform.ANDROID);
    cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Android Emulator");
   }
}

Please put all of the details of the question, in your question. — Steve Smith, Mar 14 '17 at 16:25
Try [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25530382/the-constructor-is-not-visible-error). Second answer: "No access modifier for your constructor makes it package private." — Brian, Mar 14 '17 at 16:28

You propably did import File class from the wrong package. What you want mostly is java.io.File

Thank you SilverNak. I removed File from gargaoyle and imported it from java.nio.file. It worked. – Gaurav Thantry Mar 14 '17 at 16:33

You are not using the normal Java File class, but rather something from Gargoyle Software.

Thanks a lot smith. That worked. I just realized that I had imported File from Gargoyle software instead of normally importing it from java.nio.file.* – Gaurav Thantry Mar 14 '17 at 16:32
No problem! Please mark this answer as correct if it helped. – Steve Smith Mar 14 '17 at 16:33
