Solved Intellij Switch Source Error

Hello,

I have recently switched from Eclipse over to Intellij, and I imported my project. Now, Intellij is having quite an issue with a string that Eclipse can understand, but Intellij doesn't. '+='

Here it is:


Is there a valid fix to this?
Thanks

Edit:

I am also getting a can't start Git.exe error, I don't even want Git atm.

Does it work if you create a different one somewhere else?

 

Are you compiling against java 6 or 7? I think by default, IntelliJ uses Java 5.

 

For the git-thing. Have you tried clicking 'fix it'?

Yes, but it says it can't find the . Remember, I put the broadcast message method in the same method that int i is in.

There's no += for strings... And turn off your git until you learn how to use it if you have installed git, go to the cmd folder and click on the git.exe

Yes, I don't know what to do for it though. xD

I set my SDK to Java 7.

 

I'm 99% sure you can use += on Strings. It's called String Concatenation.

PS: Learn git here

Yes there is. Tried it.

Code:java

String str = "Hi";
str += " there";
// Works!

 

If you don't have git installed, you might need to do that. I'm not sure since I alreay had git before I installed IntelliJ.

Is there a way I can remove it then?

Hmmm... I am just not sure why the IDE doesn't recognize it, but Eclipse does..

 

I use IntelliJ a lot and have never had this problem. Are you sure the project is set up correctly? If you host a join.me session, I can have a look.
Also, there isn't a chance you imported the wrong String class, is there

 

wdlpddlpdpagkaglga. Wut? Importing the String class?

 

Maybe he made his own String class. Just trying to help. No need to freak out.

 

Hey guys, we have got the string error sorted out, I just didn't use the JDK correctly. Big thanks to PogoStick29. If you don't know him, great guy. Great tutorials.

Thanks guys, solved.

 

Too late, I called 911. They're coming to get you.

No idea, sorry.
