Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to R.string

android, java, string

Solution

Easy fix, the String type needs to be capitalized.

string[] items = new string[]{"aa","bb"};
ArrayAdapter<string> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>(this,R.layout.reminder_row,R.id.text1,items);

Becomes:

String[] items = new String[]{"aa","bb"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.reminder_row,R.id.text1,items);

@gt_ebuddy is right as well, remove this line:

import android.R.string;

Using Ctrl+Shift+O is the simplest way to import classes automatically, but it sometimes leads you astray when it tries to import anything from your package's R file.

Problem

I am new so forgive my primitive question, I am really not getting this. I am simply creating this array on my main activity while doing a tutorial and I get an error ``` package com.TaskReminder; import android.R.string; import android.app.ListActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; public class ReminderListActivity extends ListActivity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.reminder_list); string[] items = new string[]{"aa","bb"}; ArrayAdapter<string> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>(this,R.layout.reminder_row,R.id.text1,items); setListAdapter(adapter); } ``` and the error on my string array is : Multiple markers at this line - Line breakpoint:ReminderListActivity [line: 14] - onCreate(Bundle) - Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to R.string what's exactly happening here?
