This thing is driving me nuts. I can't seem to get my app to compile correctly. I have added the support libraries in my app by copying the jar files, dropping them into libs folder, right click and adding them as library.
I have tried extending ActionBaractivity and nothing still not getting that method recognized.
I am using Android studio version 0.8.2.
Class
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout; import android.view.Menu; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.Toast; public class mainActivity extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener { private DrawerLayout drawerLayout; private ListView listView; private String[] navMenuArray; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout); navMenuArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.navmenu); listView =(ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawerList); listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1, navMenuArray)); listView.setOnItemClickListener(this); } @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { //handles what happens when an item in the menu is clicked Toast.makeText(this,navMenuArray[position]+" was selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); selectItem(position); } public void selectItem(int position){ listView.setItemChecked(position, true); setTitle(navMenuArray[position]); } public void setTitle(String title){ getSupportActionbar().setTitle(title); } }
