The constructor LocationClient(MainActivity, MainActivity, MainActivity) is undefined

Question

So I'm following along with a Lynda.com Tutorial on using Google Maps V2 to build mobile Apps and I was going along with a part that has you creating a map app that is finding the location programatically rather than relying on the setMyLocationEnabled(true) method. So I've followed along with the code and each time I go to run the app it crashes and give me the following error in the logcat:

Here's the code in my MainActivity.java, let me know if you need any other files to see if you can help with the issue thanks:

Answer 1

The second and third parameters of constructor have a type of:

GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener

So you should implement these interfaces in your Activity, if you are pointing to this. But you've picked up similar interfaces from another class - GoogleApiClient

Answer 2

Not familiar with android apis but looks like a bad import of ConnectionCallbacks (import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks;). When you cast to ConnectionCallbacks its using that bad import instead of GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks.

Edited: ok so its the other way around!
