420 PointsOnce again can someone please help I am stuck on task 2 of 2. Java project. Thanks
Update the DummyItem constructor to set the new 'director' member variable to a third parameter also named ‘director’. Then go back and add director last names to the items. Bonus points if you use the correct directors for the movie!
public class DummyContent {
public static List<DummyItem> ITEMS = new ArrayList<DummyItem>();
public static Map<String, DummyItem> ITEM_MAP = new HashMap<String, DummyItem>();
static { // Add 3 sample items.
addItem(new DummyItem("1", "The Avengers", "Directors name1"));
addItem(new DummyItem("2", "The Hobbit", "Directors name2"));
addItem(new DummyItem("3", "Ball of Fire", "Directors name3"));
}
private static void addItem(DummyItem item) {
ITEMS.add(item);
ITEM_MAP.put(item.id, item);
}
/**
* A dummy item representing a piece of content.
*/
public static class DummyItem {
public String id;
public String content;
public String director;
public DummyItem(String id, String content) {
this.id = id;
this.content = content;
this.director = director;
}
}
}
