I have a working trivia game and am now trying to implement a highscores. I created a subclass DatabaseHelper class extending SQLiteOpenHelper. I am trying to call a method in the subclass DatabaseHelper from another class and am getting errors. The classes won't compile so there is no LogCat output. I have commented in the code the errors.
Code structure advice is appreciated as well!
Highscores.java
public class Highscores extends Activity {
DatabaseHelper dh;
SQLiteDatabase db;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
dh = new DatabaseHelper(context);
}
public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
//code
}
public boolean check(long score, int percentage) {
//code
}
}
}
Results.java
public class Results extends Activity {
DatabaseHelper dh; //Error: "DatabaseHelper cannot be resolved to a type."
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
dh = new DatabaseHelper(); //Error: "DatabaseHelper cannot be resolved to a type."
}
public void showResults() {
if(dh.check(score, percentage) == true) { //Error: "DatabaseHelper cannot be resolved to a type."
dh.insert(score, percentage); //Error: "DatabaseHelper cannot be resolved to a type."
}
}
}
Sounds like you are missing an import at the top of your Results.java
It should look something like import com.somepackage.DatabaseHelper;
Errors like this are typically either a typo in the class name or a missing import.
