Error: RestAdapter(…) has private access in 'retrofit.RestAdapter'

Question

I am trying to make a class the uses Retrofit to make some API calls.

public class RedditUtils {

private RestAdapter restAdapter;
private RedditApiService service;
private final String redditBaseUrl = "https://oauth.reddit.com";

public RedditUtils()
{
    restAdapter = new RestAdapter().Builder().setEndpoint(redditBaseUrl).build();

    service = restAdapter.create(RedditApiService.class);
}

public void fetchToken(String token)
{
    service.getToken(token, new Callback<RedditAccessToken>() {
        @Override
        public void success(RedditAccessToken redditAccessToken, Response response) {
            Log.d("RedditAccessToken", redditAccessToken.getAccessToken());
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(RetrofitError error) {

            Log.d("RedditAccessTokenFailed", error.toString());
        }
    });
}

}

When I set restAdapter equalt to new RestAdapter(), I get the error

 RestAdapter(*long path name*) has private access in 'retrofit.RestAdapter'

I am not sure what would be causing this error and I haven't found anyone else with this issue. Any ideas on how to solve the error?

You aren't suppose to instantiate RestAdapter , hence why it has a private constructor.

Builder is a static internal class of the RestAdapter class. You can instantiate it like so:

new RestAdapter.Builder()
