Adding LOG.i() to the program

I'm using the "Sams teach yourselfh Android Application Develoment in 24 hours" Book.

Got this program

package com.androidbook.droid1;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

/**
 * @author Trashcan
 *
 */
public class Droid1Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        private static final String TAG = "app_name";

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Log.i(TAG,"WTF is going on ?");
    }
}

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html is the API of it.

Been trying and dorking around with it and just haven't gotten to any idea where Eclipse will accept it.

you can't define a static variable within a method. Refactor your code so that the declaration of TAG is at the class level. For example:

package com.androidbook.droid1;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

/**
 * @author Trashcan
 *
 */
public class Droid1Activity extends Activity {

    private static final String TAG = "app_name";

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Log.i(TAG,"WTF is going on ?");
    }
}

Try calling super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) first in onCreate(). I'm not sure if this will fix anything, but I can't really tell what your problem is.

Also, it would seem more appropriate to use Log.wtf() in this particular case, but that's my personal opinion.

There is a line there that shouldn't be in the method but outside of the method. Don't you get a warning saying as much?
