What method to add in NearablesDemoActivity.java

Question

I'm working on a project for Shoe sticker using estimote sticker and facing some problems. I'm using android studio for my project

I have error at dbRow = stickerdb.getResult(currentNearable.identifier("065473d63cd9d687"));

It says Method call expected

The error log: Error:(96, 52) error: cannot find symbol method identifier(String)

Answer 1

You're calling an identifier method on an object of the Nearable class. There is no such method in this class:

http://estimote.github.io/Android-SDK/JavaDocs/com/estimote/sdk/Nearable.html

There is, however, an identifier property, and that's the one you need to use:

http://estimote.github.io/Android-SDK/JavaDocs/com/estimote/sdk/Nearable.html#identifier

In other words, this line:

dbRow = stickerdb.getResult(currentNearable.identifier("065473d63cd9d687"));

… needs to become:

dbRow = stickerdb.getResult(currentNearable.identifier);
