Syntax Error, insert ";" to complete return statement

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito · February 5, 2017

I'm having a really weird problem with eclipse. I'm getting a syntax error saying I'm missing the ";" for the return statement even though there is one. I've checked the rest of my code and all the brackets seem to line up and there aren't any missing ";"s. Any ideas?

	public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
		ImageView view;
		if (convertView == null) {
			view = new ImageView(context);
			view.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(160, 160));
			view.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
			view.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);
		} 
		else {
			view = (ImageView) convertView;
		}

		view.setImageResource(id_Set[position]);
		return view;
    }

The problem is probably somewhere else. Otherwise, Eclipse does weird things sometimes. Try to close it and open it again.

Is "view" a method or a variable or?

Nineshadow · February 5, 2017

public ImageView getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
		...
    }

maybe?

Was following this so view is a ImageView object.

Eclipse is still complaining about it after a restart.

I'm using code supplied by Google in the link above. Just don't understand why Eclipse is not accepting it. Following tutorials on YouTube that use similar code in Eclipse and still getting the same result. Tried retyping it cause I know sometimes formatting gets all weird when copying and pasting code from websites. But no dice.

I don't think you can return an entire object in Java.

Then I'm totally lost since this is the code that is provided by Google themselves...

I'm 95% Java does not allow returning of entire objects, but I might be wrong. I would recommend asking a higher knowledgeable programmer on the forums to be sure. I'm not sure who that would be though.

look like Android API https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html

I dont see anything wrong with that code. try clean and rebuild the project

@AluminiumTech you do Android programming right? Any ideas? hahahahaa

He is a programmer, but I'm not sure if Java is his best strength. Might be worth a shot though.

maybe you're missing a closing } at the end of the class?

Spoiler


public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
	
	private Context context;
	int[] id_Set = {R.drawable.photo1, R.drawable.photo2,
			R.drawable.photo3, R.drawable.photo4,
			R.drawable.photo5, R.drawable.photo6,
			R.drawable.photo7, R.drawable.sfuaerial};
	
	public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
		this.context = c;
	}
	
	public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
		ImageView imageView;
		if (convertView == null) {
			imageView = new ImageView(context);
			imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(160, 160));
			imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
			imageView.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);
		} 
		else {
			imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
		}
		imageView.setImageResource(id_Set[position]);
		return imageView;
    }
	

	@Override
	public int getCount() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return id_Set.length;
	}
	
	@Override
	public Object getItem(int position) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return null;
	}
	
	@Override
	public long getItemId(int position) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return 0;
	}
}

I can't seem to find any. I'm not worried about implementing getItem and getItemID as they're not really required for me.

Nineshadow · February 5, 2017

Have you tried adding another ';' just for the sake of it?

fizzlesticks · February 5, 2017

Post all of your code and the full error message.

i get no errors with this code. i think its eclipse being a buggy dick. try doing Project -> clean. This usually fixes false error messages. In eclipse theres another thing you can do to clear false errors, but I stopped using eclipse a long time ago, i need to google what it is called

Yea I've tried cleaning and building the project multiple times. Restarted Eclipse multiple times as well.

At the top it says "ImageView view;", meaning that it is declaring a variable. So view is a variable.

try cut and re-paste the code if that does not work go into preferences and turn off Lint error checking, clean & build, then turn Lint back on

Perhaps it's not a problem with the semi-colon. The thing that stood out to me was that the function is promising to return a variable with the type of View, while the variable you return is of the type ImageView. That might be what's causing the error. I'm not familiar with what either of those are, and thus don't know if they are interchangeable, but it seems like that could be part of the problem. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Nineshadow · February 5, 2017

Wait...just remembered something.

Have you, by any chance, used a Greek question mark (;) instead of a semi column(;) ? Yes, that's a thing.

I'm only asking because I did do this prank on a friend of mine...let's just say he wasn't very happy.

I'm 99% that's the reason. Just try to copy and paste another ";" and you should be fine.

Yea it's still bitching about it. Copied one from another line of code that doesn't seem to have an issue and same thing. It does seem like a good prank though, maybe I'll it to someone one day.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with the Java. The code looks alright......

The variable/object you want to return is misspelled.

You reference it is as "imageView" instead of "ImageView"
