Hello
I'm stuck on this challenge, i'm doing what it tells me to do but I get an error anyway:
./GameAdapter.java:29: error: invalid method declaration; return type required
public HourViewHolder(View itemView) {
^
1 error
Code:
public class GameAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<GameAdapter.GameViewHolder> {
private Game[] mGames;
public GameAdapter(Game[] games) {
mGames = games;
}
@Override
public GameViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(GameViewHolder holder, int position) {
// code omitted for brevity
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return 0;
}
/* Add your code here */
public class GameViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView mTitleLabel;
public HourViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mTitleLabel = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.titleLabel);
}
}
}
Please help!

18,958 PointsThe problem is what is supposed to be your constructor in the innerclass GameViewHolder:
public HourViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mTitleLabel = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.titleLabel);
}
A constructor should have the same name as the class, it is a constructor for, in this case GameViewHolder. Therefore the solution would be:
public GameViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mTitleLabel = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.titleLabel);
}
When you do not use the correct name, the Java compiler assumes it is a ordinary method and if it was a ordinary method, a return type was needed.
