537 PointsPretty Little Things code challenge throws syntax errors--why?
The private void below throws syntax errors, pointing specifically at the first dot in R.drawable.frogImage.
If I delete that line, the challenge tells me "don't forget to define animateFrog()!"
What is my error here, because I can't find it?
Thank you!
private void animateFrog(){
ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
frogImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.frogImage);
AnimationDrawable frogAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) frogImage.getDrawable();
frogAnimation.start();

It appears you have got a little ahead of yourself. Task 1 asks you to create the new method which you have done but are missing a closing curly brace (unless it is not pasted on screen and you have declared the method as private not public).
Task 2 asks you to create the AnimationDrawable variable jumpAnimation (you must use this variable name).
Try the following:-
Public void animateFrog(){
ImageView frogImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frog);
AnimationDrawable jumpAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) frogImage.getDrawable();
}
Delete all other lines of your code.
I wont paste the answers for task 3 and 4 as I think it is better to have a go for yourself first to really cement the learning.
Hope this helps
Daniel
