Courses Plus Student 3,915 PointsMy intelliJ is telling me that the parameters passed into the Attempt constructor are backwards
I have : public Attempt(AttemptKind message, String kind) { mMessage = message; mKind = kind; mRemainingSeconds = kind.getTotalSeconds(); } with squiggly lines under the first two statements and getTotalSeconds is completely red. The errors for running are: Error:(9, 20) java: incompatible types: com.teamtreehouse.pomodoro.model.AttemptKind cannot be converted to java.lang.String Error:(10, 17) java: incompatible types: java.lang.String cannot be converted to com.teamtreehouse.pomodoro.model.AttemptKind Error:(11, 33) java: cannot find symbol symbol: method getTotalSeconds() location: variable kind of type java.lang.String These are the only errors.

Courses Plus Student 3,915 PointsRight, I followed the video. It shouldn't be any different than Craig's. I have flipped the things around, but then it changes the parameters everywhere else. I wanted to screenshot the code so people could see. Is there a way to do that and to post it?

To post images, you can upload them to a hosting site and then include a link - markdown cheatsheet includes a syntax for that (i think, it's the link text in square brackets followed by the url in round brackets).

28,694 PointsOn the first point, it may not be clear why that represents a problem, Unless there's a reason for the params to be in a specific order, people are going to be uncertain why you don't just change the order, or if you have access to the call to the constructor, feed the args into the call in a different order. The second error is similar to what i get when i intentionally call a method that doesn't exist. Someone debugging the code would probably want to see your version of Home.java and AttemptKind.java to make sure everything's consistent and then maybe move to more exotic options for what could be wrong.
