[android-developers] Re: Intent variable required for onStart function

2008-11-25 Thread Dianne Hackborn 
Er...  the onStart() method takes Intent as a parameter, so that is what
your onStart() method should be taking.  This code looks like it was from a
pre-1.0 version of the platform (and whoever wrote it didn't use @Override,
naughty naughty!).

player = MediaPlayer.create((Context)this,
 R.raw.groove_arm);
player.start();

}
public void onDestroy()

super.onDestroy();
player.stop();
}

 }

She's saying your onStart() callback should look like this:

@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId)
{
super.onStart(intent, startId);
player = MediaPlayer.create((Context)this, R.raw.groove_arm);
player.start();
}

Maybe you should use that book for a monitor stand instead of letting
it give you bad advice.
