How can I skip challenges or find solutions

after video, android challenges

7 Answers

You can't skip the challenges, unfortunately.

However, if you let us know which one you are in, i.e. what question you've got and what code, we can help out from there.

Cheers,

Steve.

Skipping challenges is taking away the fun side. Its good to see your score and badge collection after completing the challenges.

However, if that doesn't excite you, just press the buttons as given in the image below to skip past the challenges. Though as a reminder you can always get back to a skipped challenge later.

Hope that helps

Sometimes the challenge says my code is incorrect even when it is working. There should be a way to view challenge solutions without posting a message asking someone for help.

Hi there,

I think there will be very few circumstances where your code is correct but the challenge won't pass it. You will see many posts in the Community pages saying "my code works fine in my IDE but won't pass", I can honestly say I have come across one scenario where the challenge was wrong - and that has been corrected now. Often, there's something subtle that makes the code appear to work in the IDE correctly, but which means it isn't quite answering the challenge as posed.

There's no 'show me the solution' option at the moment - we need to rely on the Community pages - but you can skip a challenge by moving along the row of ticks at the top of the course page.

Good luck!

Steve.

Hiya,

I understand ... the challenge is to amend the id of an xml element in the code. It is initially called textView1 but that needs amending to teamTreehouse. So, if you change:

android:id="@+id/textView1"

to:

android:id="@+id/teamTreehouse"

That should do the job!

I'm in android tutorial. Tutorial challenge ask me to edit 'id' of textView;

<TextView android:id="@+id/textView1"/>

Its probably very very easy. I changed id's name, not worked. What can I change/edit more things, I don't know
