WebViewClient cannot be resolved to a type

this is a re-post of a question i asked last week, got 2 answers that didn't work.

i followed a guide on http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html and then created my own EditText field and a button. the code should explain it all, my problem is i keep getting a "HelloWebViewClient cannot be resolved to a type" Error, any suggestions? thanks in advance!

    package com.text.text;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class test extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.alt);
        final EditText edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
        final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.okay);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Editable text = edittext.getText();
                String Tekst = text.toString();
                setContentView(R.layout.main);
                WebView mWebView;
                mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
                mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
                mWebView.loadUrl(Tekst);
                mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
                class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
                    @Override
                    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                        view.loadUrl(url);
                        return true;

                    }
        };
    }
});
}}

I had this problem as well and the issue turned out to be the following missing packages hadn't been imported (you already have one in your source:

import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

This is in the example posted by CommonsWare, but is not included in the tutorial for some reason.

Move HelloWebViewClient from its current location to outside of onCreate() (but inside your test class). Here is a sample project demonstrating this.
