Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) The Model-View-Controller Pattern Adding a Custom Constructor

Let's continue with our custom data model. We need some constructors. First, add a default constructor with no parameters. Inside the constructor, set mType to "SHUTTLE".

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}
public Spaceship() {
  mType= "SHUTTLE";

Your function public Spaceship is out side of your class. It needs to be inside such as this:

public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

    public Spaceship() {
      mType= "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}
