The method setCurrentMinute(Integer) in the type TimePicker is not applicable for the arguments (String)

Question

Anyone have an idea why I might be getting this error?

All I'm trying to do is save the hour selected by the timepicker... I'm sure it's something simple I've overlooked.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The problem is that setCurrentHour() expects an Integer, but by calling getString() you are passing a String and, as the error states, there is no method for setCurrentHour(String).

You don't tell us where the Intent's extras are set, so this solution is a guess. But try:

timeEt.setCurrentHour(extras.getInt("time"));
