Class interface or enum expected - Error

Question

I wrote some code using Android Studio IDE that should ask for a couple of numbers and give us an answer for the ratio between them.

I receive the error saying: error class interface or enum expected.
I read that it occurs when I open too many curve brackets without closing them or vice-versa, but I have just 2 open brackets and then 2 closed ones so it seems balanced.

Do not take me wrong, but I read there are no android programming languages, you just use Java, right?

The code is as follow:

Import java.util.Scanner;

Class BIL{
//I am defining a class, a function;

  Public static void main(string args[]){

      Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);


      Double MH, c, Md;
      //I define variable with double-precision 64-bit floating point;

      System.out.println(Enter the load, please:);
      //It prints the argument passed, into the System.out which is the standard output. In this particular case it prints it and goes to a new line;
      MH = userInput.nextDouble();
      //The call to .nextDouble() waits for a value to be input. Once input, the value will be stored in the assigned variable MH20;
      System.out.println(Enter capacity, please:);
      c = userInput.nextDouble();
      Md = MH/c;
      System.out.println(The mass needed is:);
      System.out.println(Md);
      //it prints out the result;
   }
}

I think you want an Android app able to do this. First of all you have Android Studio installed so in Android Studio click on File -> New -> New Project... and let's create the project as shown here. Your project location will be different and it's ok but if you don't want to have troubles later please leave the same package name

then leave the default in the next screen and finally choose the Empty Activity:

then Next and in the next screen leave the default settings and click Finish

Now in order to build this app we have to modify the files that I'm gonna show you

The first file is essentially the layout of your app. To be fully precise hardcoding 16dp as I did here is not the best practice but for the moment it will be ok

In the left menu go to app/res/layout and double click activity_main.xml

You can see both the graphics and a code depending on if you are respectively clicking on Design or Text tab. You need to select this last one and copy and paste this code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="16dp"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:paddingTop="16dp"
    tools:context="com.stackoverflow.mario.MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="97dp"
        android:text="Ratio"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:textSize="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="43dp"
        android:text="Number One"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtNumber1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/textView1"
        android:ems="2"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_marginTop="47dp"
        android:text="Number Two"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnAdd"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_marginTop="46dp"
        android:onClick="onClick"
        android:text="Divide" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtNumber2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/btnAdd"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/txtNumber1"
        android:ems="2"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtResult"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/txtNumber2"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/btnAdd"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

</RelativeLayout>

The second file is essentially the engine of your app. Go to app/java/com/stackoverflow/mario and click on MainActivity[.java]. Copy and paste the following code:

package com.stackoverflow.mario;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText firstNumber;
    EditText secondNumber;
    TextView addResult;
    Button btnAdd;

    double num1,num2,ratio;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        firstNumber = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtNumber1);
        secondNumber = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtNumber2);
        addResult = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtResult);
        btnAdd = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);

        btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                num1 = Double.parseDouble(firstNumber.getText().toString());
                num2 = Double.parseDouble(secondNumber.getText().toString());
                ratio = num1 / num2;
                addResult.setText(Double.toString(ratio));
            }
        });
    }

}

Now if you build [in Android Studio: Build -> Rebuild Project] and run [in Android Studio: Run -> Run App] this app you will see a screen like this:

You can run the app creating a virtual device [the previous screenshot is from the Android Emulator and you can create one virtual device clicking the button shown in this screenshot]

or if you have your phone you can enable the USB debugging, connect the USB to the PC, select your device from the window showing the devices and then clicking OK
