Hello,
Your code seems to be correct. I have redone the challenge and will paste both your code and my code here in java format to see if anything stands out.
Your code:
```java
public void animateFrog(){ 
     ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
     AnimationDrawable jumpAnimation = (AnimationDrawable)frogImage.getDrawable(); 
     if ( jumpAnimation.isRunning() ){
 }
}
```
My code:
```java
public void animateFrog() {
    ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
    AnimationDrawable jumpAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) frogImage.getDrawable();
    if (jumpAnimation.isRunning()) {
}  
}
```
Other than slightly different spacing I can't see anything that should stop it working. Have had a busy day, so I may be missing something :D I know the code I wrote passes the challenge though as I tested it.
Hope this helps,
Paul :)

I'm also having trouble with this challenge. The compiler returns this error message: 
./com/example/MainActivity.java:22: reached end of file while parsing
}

This is when using Paul's code above.
