Method call expected in Java

Question

Could anyone point out the missing or incorrect line of code in my program, This is the code I'm working with. Btw thanks in advance for those who will help. This is the line of code in which the error 'Method call expected' is always popping.

 View v = layoutInflater.inflate(layouts(position),container,false);

You can see the full code below.

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Viewpager viewpager;
private Intromanager intromanager;
private int[] layouts;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    intromanager = new Intromanager(this);
    if(!intromanager.Check())
    {
        intromanager.setFirst(false);
        Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Main2Activity.class);
        startActivity(i);
        finish();
    }
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    layouts = new int[]{R.layout.activity_screen_1,R.layout.activity_screen_2,R.layout.activity_screen_3};
}


public class ViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter
{
    private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View v = layoutInflater.inflate(layouts(position),container,false);
        container.addView(v);
        return v;
    }


    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return layouts.length;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view==object;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        View v =(View)object;
        container.removeView(v);
    }
}
}

`layouts` is an array. You access elements of an array with square brackets, not parentheses - `layouts[position]`. — Mike M., May 07 '17 at 12:49
Thanks a lot. I only just started working with java just recently. Thanks again. — Macmac, May 07 '17 at 12:55

layouts is an int array so you should put the index into the [] brackets. () is used when the user put parameter into a method.

Example:

arrayList.add(item);

Correct code:

View v = layoutInflater.inflate(layouts[position], container, false);
