package com.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.graphics.drawable.AnimationDrawable;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void animateFrog(){
ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
}
}

5,668 PointsHello Alexander, I think I can lend you a hand here. My only doubt is the type of the FrogImage variable, other than that your method should look like the code below, feel free to ask e further questions.
<code> public void animateFrog(){ public String FrogImage; } </code>

1,410 PointsHey Randy thankyou for your input it is much appreciated! That being said i tried the code you suggested and it didnt solve the equation. I'm getting kind of frustrated but i'm still trying to hang in. Do you have any other suggestions let me know buddy thanks!!!
Randy Perez
5,668 PointsOk, given that I took the time to check the code challenge by myself and yes you only have to declare the method as I did before but there is an exiting line of code that you to move inside the method in order to declare the FrogImage variable. At the end it should look like this.
public void animateFrog(){
ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
}

1,410 PointsHey Randy its Alex I dont know whats going on. I pretty much tried everything including the line of code you've provided. Another thing i noticed is that when the question is given the declaration " imageview frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog); is at the top as prexisting code. now i know im new but i believe it isnt good to repeat the same line of code. Did you pass the code challenge? maybe iim wrong please let me know thanks!!!
Randy Perez
5,668 PointsYes, I did pass it. Can you post your answer? so I can take a look at it and help you out

1,410 PointsWooooow my only little mistake was not placing the curly brace after the semicolen. I thought the one already given was enough! Thanks bro if you ever need anything just let me know your a champion !!
