Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsAh, that's a tough one to see.
In the line:
mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()); {
You have an extra ");"
The line should be:
mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsHi,
Could you add the rest of the code to your onClick method? It's hard to tell what's going on without that.

2,815 PointsHello, the code is:
import android.content.Intent;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private EditText mNameField;
private Button mStartButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.nameEditText);
mStartButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.startButton);
mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()); {
@Override
public void onClick (View v){
String name = mNameField.getText().toString();
startStory();
}
});
}
The Log Cat give is :
Error:(31, 32) error: ';' expected Error:(31, 40) error: ';' expected Error:(36, 10) error: illegal start of expression Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.
Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

2,815 PointsAre you sure? Haha.
how about the (View v) characters, the characters 'v' can't be resolved.Jon Kussmann
Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsJon Kussmann
Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsI would make the change I suggested first. To me it seems as though 'v' cannot be resolved since you are ending that statement early because of the extra ");"
Go ahead and try it... if it doesn't work, we'll figure something else out. :P
