have no idea why java.lang.NoSuchMethodException happens

Question

I keep having this error and have no idea why and here is my code below.

public class Movie{

private String title;
private int year;
private int price;
private Genre genre;

public Movie(String title, int year, int price, Genre genre) {
    this.title = title;
    this.year = year;
    this.price = price;
    this.genre = genre;
}

public Movie() {
}

public String getMovieTitle() {
    return title;
}

public int getMovieYear() {
    return year;
}

public int getMoviePrice() {
    return price;
}

public Genre getMovieGenre() {
    return genre;
}

public void setMovieTitle(String title) {
    this.title = title;
}

public void setMovieYear(int year) {
    this.year = year;
}

public void setMoviePrice(int price) {
    this.price = price;
}

public void setMovieGenre(Genre genre) {
    this.genre = genre;
}

public String toString() {
    return  this.year + "\t" + this.title + "\t" + this.genre.toString() + "\t" + "$ " + this.price;
}

}

and then i got this error:

which is a NoSuchMethodException.

I searched about this error, which teached me to add an empty constrcutor and i added it and still got this error. Also, i have all parameters required, why am i still getting this Exception?

can someone help me out pls?

thanks in advance.

By looking in your nosuchmethod exception you are calling the method

Movie("title",1993,g,5)  // here g is the genre you created

And in your constructor the genre comes last. So you need to call it

Movie("title",1993,5,g)  // here g is the genre you created

Your parameters are mixed up. Your constructor expects String, int, int, Genre, but you are passing String, int, Genre, int

You code is with input parameters incorrect.

public Snippet(String string, int i, int j, Genre genre2) {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

You may input an Strig, int, int, Genre.
