`base64()` is not public in `android.util.base64()`

Question

I'm trying to use the base64 class.

But I get this error

`base64()` is not public in `android.util.base64()`. 
 Cannot be accessed from outside package.

Here is how I use it:

package com.example.myname.myapp;
//...
import import android.util.Base64;
//...
Base64 base64 = new Base64(); //Here I get the error
//...

Answer 1

android.util.Base64 has no public constructors so it can't be instantiated directly. There is no need to create an instance anyway as the public API methods are all static.
