Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) Intents and Multiple Activities Starting a New Activity

can not find symbol

I am trying to give a new intent but it stats that flightStart symbol can not be found.

LaunchActivity.java
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class LaunchActivity extends Activity {

  public Button mLaunchButton;

  private void flightstart()
  {
   Intent intent = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class);
   flightStart(intent);    
  }

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

    mLaunchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
    mLaunchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        // Add your code in here!
        flightStart();

      }
    });
  }
}

flightstart vs flightStart maybe? The missing symbol error just means that it found something where it doesn't know what it is.

I did not see that before, gotta reread my code sometimes.

Naa it looks like you found the problem Simon.
The call should have the capital S.

private void flightStart() { Intent intent = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class); flightStart(intent);
}
