The book does not specify the min required SDK, the target SDK, or the compile with.

I added all the code with min: API 8, Target: API 17.

I'm getting the following errors on EarthquakeListFragment - Errors in FONT RED

1. public class EarthquakeListFragment extends ListFragment {


2. super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

3. aa = new ArrayAdapter<Quake>(getActivity(), layoutID , earthquakes);

4. setListAdapter(aa);

5. String quakeFeed = getString(R.string.quake_feed);


PS. Number 5. quake_feed. The Strings.xml have the <string name="quake_feed">

Thanks for your help.

Hi marfl99,

In eclipse when editing EarthquakeListFragment, try "ctrl-shift-o" and import android.app.ListFragment. If i omit this, i see the errors you noticed..
But this only works on min sdk = 11, for the majority of the examples in the book try 11, not less. Otherwise include a support library.

Hope it helps!

Hey Kees,

That fixed almost everything. Threre is only one thing left. The line below in RED

String quakeFeed = getString(R.string.quake_feed);

And as you can see I have the quake_feed in the strings file.

<string name="quake_feed">
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/.../1day-M2.5.xml
</string>


Thanks so much for your help.

The Quake feed URL in the example string resource has been depreciated by the USGS.gov folks. So it does not work. You can rework using the new feeds URL (see their web site), which if you want you app to work you will have to do.

But for testing, use http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak...y/2.5_day.atom

as the url string.

Will do! thanks
