Build Keeps Failing

Question

Good Evening,

I'm new to programming and trying to get project to run in android studio but it keeps failing and the design mode will not work because it hasn't had a successful build. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have in mainactivity.java file.

I've got other programs to run properly within android studio but can't seem to make this one work.

package com.example.jenna.needtograduate;

import android.animation.Animator;
import android.animation.AnimatorListenerAdapter;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MainTimerDelegate {

    private MainTimer timer;
    private RelativeLayout myLayout;
    private RelativeLayout authorizationContainerLayout;
    private RelativeLayout authorizationLayout;
    private RelativeLayout connectivityContainerLayout;
    private RelativeLayout connectivityLayout;
    private ProgressBar connectivityProgressBar;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLayout);
        authorizationContainerLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.authorizationContainerLayout);
        authorizationLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.authorizationLayout);
        connectivityContainerLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.connectivityContainerLayout);
        connectivityLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.connectivityLayout);
        connectivityProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.connectivityProgressBar);

        timer = new MainTimer(this);
    }

    //region: Obstacle delegate methods
    public void MainTimerDidDetectReachability(MainTimer timer, Boolean reachable) {

        if (reachable) {

            new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

                    // perform if connection is available
                    connectivityLayout.animate()
                            .setDuration(250)
                            .alpha(0.0f)
                            .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {

                                @Override
                                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);

                                    // optional completion block
                                    connectivityContainerLayout.animate()
                                            .setDuration(250)
                                            .translationY(connectivityLayout.getHeight())
                                            .alpha(0.0f)
                                            .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {

                                                @Override
                                                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                                                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);

                                                    // optional completion block
                                                    connectivityProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                                                }
                                            });
                                }
                            });
                }
            });
        } else {

            new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

                    // perform if connection is NOT available
                    connectivityProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    connectivityContainerLayout.animate()
                            .setDuration(250)
                            .translationY(0)
                            .alpha(1.0f)
                            .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {

                                @Override
                                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);

                                    // optional completion block
                                    connectivityLayout.animate()

                                                @Override
                                                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                                                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);

                                                }
                                            });
                                }
                            });
                }
            });
        }
    }
}

Here's the error messages I'm getting:

Answer 1

It seems like fadedBlack dosent exist in your project. Try checking in colors.xml under the values folder.
