public class DailyForecastActivity extends ListActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_dayly_forecast);
}
String[] daysOfTheWeek = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" };
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
daysOfTheWeek);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
and the message error is: Error:(23, 5) invalid method declaration; return type required Error:(23, 27) <identifier> expected
does anyone know how to fix this ?

6,086 Pointswhich line is 23 and what wrote after expected. and check that your activity_dayly_forecast name also with y in daYly, but it is not the problem i believe. also did you add special id to the list? (@android:id/list)
