Please notice how your IDE is underlining some items in red. It is trying to help you. This means that you have a syntax error there. Consider the three lines of code you have, i.e. excluding the method definition and the curly brackets. On the first line you have a typo in the word builder ("buidler") and you haven't capitalized the the class name Color. On the second line it highlights the builder() method which leads me to think you have imported the wrong State. Finally, on the third line the method color(...) is highlighted because a Light does not have such a method. The correct way to do it would be this: room.setState(State.builder().color(java.awt.Color.PINK).on()); assuming the correct State has been imported from the same package as Hue.

ah sorry for the small mistakes like "buidler " stupid of me. But what do you mean by importing the right state have been googling that but cant seem to find anything related to "importing a state"

ZeroOne3010 commented 5 years ago

I mean that you should import the State class from this library and not some other State, so you should have this line: import io.github.zeroone3010.yahueapi.State;. Or, if you already have imported io.github.zeroone3010.yahueapi.*, then that should be enough. Just make sure you haven't imported any other class by the name of State, that's what I mean. So if you have anything like "import javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.State;" or "import sun.java2d.StateTrackable.State;", you should get rid of those.

thanks a lot turns out while making a type error it gave an error and suggesting a state import which interfered thank you so much your awesome :)
