'Intent cannot be resolved to a type' error in eclipse

Question

I am programming the first android tutorial in eclipse, and when compiling this code:

Intent intent = getIntent();

it gives the error

Intent cannot be resolved to a type

How do I fix it?

Answer 1

Probably, the import statement is missing. Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+O, Eclipse will automatically add the import statement if missing.

Then look at the top of the file and see what has been added. It should be something like this:

import android.content.Intent;
