Courses Plus Student 1,846 PointsI cannot be resolved to a variable
Hello,
I am working on the "Filling our String Array and Creating the Adapter" portion of "Adapting Data for Display in a List". I am having an issue that seems strange to me, so I am hoping that I am just missing something.
The lines of code in question are:
82 try {
83 JSONArray jsonPosts = mBlogData.getJSONArray("posts");
84 mBlogPostTitles = new String[jsonPosts.length()];
85 for (int i = 0; i < jsonPosts.length(); i++);{
86 JSONObject post = jsonPosts.getJSONObject(i);
87 String title = post.getString("title");
88 title = Html.escapeHtml(title).toString();
89 mBlogPostTitles[i] = title;
90 }
Eclipse is telling me that the variable i on lines 86 and 89 has not been initialized, despite line 85. If I initialize the variable again, it will override its value and not satisfy the intent of selecting the next item in the array. What am I missing? Why is this variable not carrying down?
Thanks in advance!

Your version is:
for (int i = 0; i < jsonPosts.length(); i++);{
But it should look like this:
for (int i = 0; i < jsonPosts.length(); i++){
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 1,846 PointsThanks, that did it... not sure how or why it was there. Mind referring me to where you can type out the code like that? Would probably make asking questions easier in the future. Thanks again.
