Hello There is a problem in my code The problem is "Cannot find symbol mDays" The error is at the line 57 Day day = new mDays[position];
public class DayAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
private Context mContext;
public Day[] mDays;
public DayAdapter(Context context, Day[] days){
mContext = context;
mDays = days;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return mDays.length;
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return mDays[position];
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null){
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.daily_list_item, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.iconImageView = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.iconImageView);
holder.temperatureLabel = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.temperatureLabel);
holder.dayLabel = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.dayNameLabel);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
Day day = new mDays[position]; // <<--- this isn't new, mDays is assigned the array passed into the constructor
holder.iconImageView.setImageResource(day.getIconId());
holder.temperatureLabel.setText(day.getTemperatureMax() + "");
holder.dayLabel.setText(day.getDayOfTheWeek());
return convertView;
}
private static class ViewHolder {
ImageView iconImageView;
TextView temperatureLabel;
TextView dayLabel;
}
}

- you've already declared it.
Delete that and it should be fine, I think.

57,709 PointsYeah - the constructor for this class receives the array and that is assigned into the declared
mDays
variable. There's nonew
keyword needed for that.
