hello, Alex!

Thought it would be filled with people

Hello!

people only show up if they have questions

I see, that makes sense

so, sometimes it's a bit busy, but usually not

so, how can I help you today?

Yea so I subscribed a couple days ago actually. I'm on adapterviews. And I'm writing a sample example from scratch as practice. But I'm getting "Cannot resolve symbol: View" warning

Haha oh!

(I really wish this chat offered Markdown...)

Suprised basecamp doesn't have that feature yet

Basecamp might

Oh is this a lightweight version?

Campfire is the chat product, and it's just a sideline

anyway, with the Java compiler, "cannot resolve symbol" usually points to a missing import

in Android Studio, Alt-Enter (or the Mac equivalent) should help you add the missing import

I see. And yes I use Mac over here

Interesting that it didn't add it automatically when I created this new project

many of the new-activity wizard templates do not directly reference the View class

so, they would not need the import

I see, very interesting. Wow man, you're like the mentor I've always wanted

I try to be useful :-)

It's pretty cool what you have going on. I was lucky to find you I think because a lot of resources seem to be outdated

Where are you from?

Pennsylvania

Oh nice, do you currently work at a company or are you one of those first/second generation programmers that have a lot of free time

I own and operate CommonsWare

That's awesome

Sorry if I sound so curious

that's OK, though the chats usually stick to Android programming questions

Or nosy, that's the right word

FWIW, you can see several years of chat transcripts at: https://commonsware.com/office-hours/

Yes, I understand. Figured since it was just us too I could get away with a few personal ones

Well, thank you for your help!

you're welcome!

Can I bookmark this window?

Or is there a new url generated

the room is only open during chats

Got it

I *think* it winds up with the same URL -- you get redirected here from the URL on the Warescription site

Yes, well it's no problem either way

Alright, gotta run! Thanks again

have a pleasant day!

You too Mark
