Adding a Shake Detector.

Awesome! Glad you figured it out. Hopefully it's not long before you feel comfortable quitting your day job.

I'll post that other thread here for @Travis and anyone else running into this issue: http://teamtreehouse.com/forum/a-couple-of-issues-with-shaking-things-up

And the relevant notes:

As for the @Override problem, that usually occurs when project settings get set to an older version of Java. This can happen when importing a project into Eclipse, among other reasons.

Try the following solution and let us know if it works or not. In Eclipse, right-click on the Crystal Ball project in Package Explorer and select Properties at the bottom. Click on Java Compiler on the left side and then uncheck "Enable project specific settings" (if it is checked). Then click on the "Configure Workspace Settings" link in the upper-right and set "Compiler Compliance Level" to 1.6.

The @Override annotation was introduced in Java 1.6 (or Java 6 as it's often called).

Hi @Travis,

It sounds like there is some sort of problem including the ShakeDetector.java file. Are you using the same "com.teamtreehouse.crystal.ball" package name as you see at the top of ShakeDetector.java?

Does your ShakeDetector.java file include this constructor at line 37?

// Constructor that sets the shake listener
public ShakeDetector(OnShakeListener shakeListener) {
    mShakeListener = shakeListener;
}

And this interface definition at the bottom?

public interface OnShakeListener {
    public void onShake();
}

Also, if you zip up your project and send it as an attachment to help@teamtreehouse.com then I can take a look and see if anything jumps out.

I may be having similar troubles...

I'm all done with this lesson, but still have a red wavy line under "onShake" ...line 40. It states method onShake must override a superclass.

I also have similar must override messages within the ShakeDetector.java ...lines... 42 public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {

and

84 public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {

Any hints?

This is a tough one to troubleshoot out of the context of the whole project. Rory, would you mind zipping up your files and also emailing them to help@teamtreehouse.com? I can take a look at the project and post any feedback in here in case anyone else runs into this problem. Thanks!

Wait! I figured it out by reading your conversation with Nicole...I should've done this before posting here. I did not have the same line error you found in Nicole's, but I decided to try removing the @Override Notations at lines 39 in MainActivity and 83 and 42 in ShakeDetector,

At this point, I did not have any read wavy lines...

then I toggled the settings in the Crystal Ball package as you instructed Nicole (unchecked Enable project specific settings)...because that sounded like a smart thing to do.

Everything works now!

Don't worry I won't quit my day job yet. Thank you!

I've tried this using the 1.5 , 1.6 and 1.7 compiler version but still can't fix the error

@Rodrigo, would you mind zipping up your project directory and sending it to help@teamtreehouse.com? I can take a look and see if anything jumps out.

The code is not working for me either. Anytime I get to "On(Something)Listener" the code gives me an error. For the Media player part of the project I just release the player during onStop(). But here I cant not figure out a workaround. In Googles developer reference files they said that the ShakeDetector Method was deprecated in version 3. i have tried creating this code on AIDE-IDE and AndroidStudio and it still doesn't work. I'm at a loss and really need some help.
