Error in Earthquake Report App

Question

I am building an earthquake report app and getting this error. I searched all over Google + Stack OverFlow + udacity forums still didn't find the answer.

the error says String can't be converted into int .But I have used the exact code as mentioned in udacity.

The error says:

 getMagnitudeColor(int) in EarthquakeAdapter cannot be applied to (java.lang.String) 

Answer 1

Is it possibly because the JSON element that you are referencing has the number as a String datatype rather than an Integer? If so, you can fix it with the following:

int magnitudeColor = getMagnitudeColor(Integer.parseInt(currentEarthquake.getMagnitude());

Answer 2

The error I was getting was due to the return statement that I had placed above GradientDrawable. also,thanks Kevin Lee for parse method.Helped me :) and Dave Newton , please dont be rude while answering questions. I am very new to programming as well stack overflow site. This was my first question and i didnt think much of regulations on how should i post my Question. anyways, Ty to you. !!

Answer 3

Your getMagnitude() method returns a string. However, your getMagnitudeColor() method expects an integer for a parameter. You have to either change the return type of getMagnitude() or change the type of your parameter for getMagnitudeColor() so that they both match.
