Can't Run the Application

I downloaded the files and open them, but a couple of things are happening.

1.) The run button is grayed out and I can't run anything 2.) The symbols for the java classes is different the symbol for "GridViewAdapter.java" looks like a piece of paper with a red circle with a "J" in it.

Any help would be great.

Hello!

This issue occurs when IntelliJ/Android Studio for some reason does not automatically locate the src directory. I've never personally came across it but found a way to fix it on the internet.

To fix it, Follow these instructions:

1) Open Project Structure from the File menu (Or press F4 on Windows).

2) Go to the Modules section.

3) Select Sources.

4) Select the folder with source files in it (It'll be called src).

5) Click on the blue sources folder icon.

6) Click on Green Test Sources folder ( to add Unit test folders).

Let me know how this goes for you :)
