11,120 Pointscompiler error:
I'm getting a compile error on part 2 of the code challenge. I'm supposed to be creating and stating and intent but I keep getting this error: ./CustomListActivity.java:28: error: cannot find symbol startActivities(intent); ^ symbol: method startActivities(Intent) location: class CustomListActivity 1 error
How do I fix this or is there a bug in the compiler?
import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.view.View; import android.view.ListView; import android.content.Intent; import android.net.Uri;
public class CustomListActivity extends ListActivity {
protected String[] mUrls = { "http://www.teamtreehouse.com", "http://developer.android.com", "http://www.github.com" };
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom_list);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mUrls);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// Add code here!
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(mUrls[position]));
startActivities(intent);
}
}
