Hi everyone, I followed the instruction of this course but there is an error shows "can not resolve constructor 'Date()'". Where did I do wrongly?
``Android
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which){
case 0:
Intent takePhotoIntent=new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
mMediaUri=getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
if(mMediaUri==null){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,R.string.error_external_storage,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
takePhotoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mMediaUri);
startActivityForResult(takePhotoIntent, TAKE_PHOTO_REQUEST);
}
break;
case 1:
break;
case 2:
break;
case 3:
break;
}
}
private Uri getOutputMediaFileUri(int mediaTypeImage) {
if(isExternalStorageAvailable()){
String appName=MainActivity.this.getString(R.string.app_name);
File mediaStorageDir =new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),appName);
if(! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
if(! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
Log.e(TAG,"Failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
File mediaFile;
Date now=new Date();
String timestamp=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss",Locale.TAIWAN).format(now);

11,161 PointsYou need to import java.util.date . In general if you are using Android Studio hit alt + enter to get a quick fix and it should automatically import the necessary classes. It also help to use auto complete rather then type out a method when you are following along even though something like date is easy to type. When you use autocomplete it automatically imports the applicable classes along with finishing what you were writing.
