245 PointsText in red, alt-enter doesn't work on new Android Studio, what should I do instead?
Hey,
Up till now everything has been very clear but this video used a lot of new jargon which made it very difficult to understand. For example, methods was not explained, among others. As a result Im just copying what Ben does on screen, but using the new Studio, some things are different. What is the idea behind importing, what is a private, and how do you suggest I import the thing (as alt-enter just brings up another window, unlike in the video)
Thanks a lot, E

The course does assume you know some Java already or you've taken the courses in the Java Track as a prerequisite to introduce you to the language first. If you're unfamiliar with the language I recommend taking those courses first.
