What is the cause of "Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement"

Question

I'm using eclipse to create an android application that gets a list of all the currently displayed apps on the phone but I am getting an error that I've never seen before. My code looks right but at one of the "}" brackets im getting the error "Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement", does anyone know how to solve this error?

Thank you.

You need to either have a "catch" clause or a "finally" to accompany your try:

try {
    // ... something dangerous ...
} catch(IOException e) {
    // ... handle errors ...
} finally {
    // ... cleanup that will execute whether or not an error occurred ...
}
