Looking at other questions that are similar, the error i am receiving is sometimes due to an Eclipse bug. However, since i am a novice, this may not be the case.

The error:

Values cannot be resolved to a type

The code:

    @Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch(item.getItemId()){
    case R.id.bNewStory:
        startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, AddStory.class));
    case R.id.bAddTopic:
        CustomDialogClass cdd=new CustomDialogClass(Values.this); //ERROR OCCURS
        cdd.show();
    }

    return true;
}

Notes:

Already tried restarting Eclipse
Already tried cleaning project
Package has been declared

There is nothing in your code which indicate that Values.this should be a type. – MTilsted Jun 29 '14 at 23:46

By the way, what is `Values`? – yildirimyigit Jun 29 '14 at 23:46
I was following the top answer to this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13341560/how-to-create-a-custom-dialog-box-in-android It is meant to be a reference to an activity so i can show a custom dialogue. – jamesgates1 Jun 29 '14 at 23:48

in that case change Values to MainActivity and it should compile correctly – panini Jun 29 '14 at 23:52

Do you have an Activity named Values? – Phantômaxx Jun 30 '14 at 07:16
Thank you, it was due to the incorrect naming of an activity. – jamesgates1 Jun 30 '14 at 10:34
