Problem / error with Shake Detector

When I include the ShakeDetector.java class into my project it shows an error highlighting the first statement 'package com.example.crystal.ball;' and the error says 'The declared package "com.example.crystal.ball" does not match the expected package "com.example.crystalball" ¿Does anybody knows what is happening? and how can I fix it?

I had the same issue. When Ben created this class, he must have used a different package name (which was com.example.crystall.ball). All that you will need to change this one line of code to match the package name that you used when you created your project (which is com.example.crystallball).

This is fairly typical step when importing a class. It happens in one of the other projects and Ben explains it as a step (although the package name is com.teamtreehouse.ribbit ... or something like that).

Thank You very much John. I did what you said. I changed the com.example.crystal.ball for com.example.crystalball (without the last dot) and it worked out!!
