the file :
package com.example.interactivitystory.ui;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;

public static final String TAG = StoryActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private String name;
private Story story ;
private ImageView storyImageView;
private TextView storyTextView;
private Button choice1Button;
private Button choice2Button;
private Stack<Integer> pageStack= new Stack<Integer>();
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_story);
storyImageView =(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.storyImageView) ;
storyTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
choice1Button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.choice1Button);
choice2Button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.choice2Button);
Intent intent = getIntent();
name = intent.getShortExtra( "name");
// String name = intent.getShortExtra( R.string.key_name);
if (name== null || name.isEmpty()) {
name = "Friend";
}
Log.d(TAG, name);
story = new Story();
loadPage(0);
}
private void loadPage(int pageNumber) {
pageStack.push(pageNumber);
final Page page = story.getPage(pageNumber);
//ضفت فاينل Drawable image = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, page.getImageId()); storyImageView.setImageDrawable(image);
String pageText= getString(page.getTextId());
// Add name if placeholder included. Won't add if not
pageText = String.format(pageText, name);
storyTextView.setText(pageText);
if (page.isFinalPage()){
choice1Button.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
choice2Button.setText(R.string.play_again_botton_text);
choice2Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
loadPage(0);
}
});
}
else {
loadButtons(page);
}
// هنا نسخت التشويس ٢
}
private void loadButtons(final Page page) {
choice1Button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
choice1Button.setText(page.getChoice1().getTextId());
choice1Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

loadPage(nextPage);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
pageStack.pop();
if (pageStack.isEmpty())
{
super.onBackPressed();
}
else {
loadPage(pageStack.pop());
}
}
}

231,269 PointsThe first message relates to this part of the code:
name = intent.getShortExtra( "name");
When it says "required: String,short" it means that the method "getShortExtra" is defined to take two arguments, one String and one short. Then "found: String" is pointing out that where it is used in the code, only a String argument is given. And finally the message "reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length" is just reconfirming that the method needs two arguments but it was only given one.
If you need additional help, please use Markdown formatting for future questions. Or better yet, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. disregard that, I overlooked that this project is not done in a workspace

70 PointsThank you for helping .. but how can I fix the problem .. ?
I try to do snapshot .. but I can't from Android studio ..

231,269 PointsTo fix that particular issue, you must supply a 2nd argument (the default value).

231,269 PointsThe workspace isn't helpful since it has no support packages installed, and the project is intended for Android Studio anyway, I previously suggested it out of habit.
Perhaps someone currently working on the same project can provide input on the other errors.
But do fix the formatting in the posted code above!
