17,511 PointsIntent.createChooser() returns an error
I cannot complete the Code Challenge because the compiler gives me an error at the dot between "Intent" and "createChooser". I'm pretty sure that I'm doing everything right. Any ideas?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 29,674 PointsI figured it out. Here's my working code:
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getString(R.string.choose_title));
You have to use the 'getString' method to get the string from 'R.string.choose_title'

Fixed though - Xavier found the solution.

17,511 PointsThanks. Weirdly, during the tutorial the code seemed to work fine without the getString() method.
