Can someone help me with this please, I'm getting error on line 35 in getAvailableContactMethods mehod?
In this task, let's fix the getAvailableContactMethods method. We want to return a set of the currently defined contact methods. HINT: How about a set of the keys from mContactMethods?
package com.example.model;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Contact {
private String mFirstName;
private String mLastName;
private Map<String, String> mContactMethods;
public Contact(String firstName, String lastName) {
mFirstName = firstName;
mLastName = lastName;
/* This stores contact methods by name
* eg: "phone" => "(555) 555-1234"
*/
mContactMethods = new HashMap<String, String>();
}
public void addContactMethod(String method, String value) {
// TODO: Add to the contact method map
mContactMethods.put(method, value);
}
/**
* Returns the available contact methods. eg: phone, pager,
*
* @return The name of the contact methods that are available
*/
public Set<String> getAvailableContactMethods() {
// FIXME: This should return the current contact method names.
Set<String> availableContacts = new HashSet<String>();
for (String name : mContactMethods) { // <---error is on this line
availableContacts.add(name);
}
return availableContacts;
}
/**
* Returns the value for the contact method if it exists,
*
* @param methodName The name of the contact method to look up.
* @return The name of the contact methods that are available
*/
public String getContactInfo(String methodName) {
// FIXME: return the value for the passed in *methodName*
return null;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return mFirstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return mLastName;
}
}

7,481 PointsmContactMethods is a HashMap. You are asked to return a Set of contactmethods. You could just return the keySet of mContactMethods like this: mContactMethods.keySet();
Or, as you are doing now, you could iterate over the keyset and add each key to your availableContacts. For this to work however, use the enhanced for-loop onthe keySet of mContactMethods.
