Unity Gear VR error on build

Question

I.m trying to setup and build https://resources.samsungdevelopers.com/Gear_VR/030_Create_VR_App_or_Game_Using_a_Game_Engine/Exercise_2%3A_Create_a_Splash_Screen/Step_7%3A_Build_and_Run_the_Application

When I try and build the application it throws the following error: Assets/Workshop/Scripts/TextureLoader.cs(114,31): error CS1105: `TextureLoader.GetFilesWithExtensions(this DirectoryInfo, params string[])': Extension methods must be declared static

// Gets the list of files in the directory by extention and filters for our specified ones (images)
public IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesWithExtensions (this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions) {
    IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = dir.GetFiles();
    return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension));
}

public bool isFinishedLoadingFirstTexture() {
    return mFinishedFirstTexture;
}

I have already changed it to a public static class in the header.

The class being static doesn't do much for the methods. You need to make your method static for the extensions to work!

public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesWithExtensions (this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions) {
    IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = dir.GetFiles();
    return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension));
}

I wrote an extension method here if you need another example!

I order to make an extension method, the class must be public and static.

The function must be public and static too. You missed this part.

public static class TextureLoader
{
    public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesWithExtensions(this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions)
    {
        IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = dir.GetFiles();
        return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension));
    }
}

when I change it to a static class it through a whole host of errors. This was file that came with the example project. – Det Feb 23 '17 at 13:11
it was originally `private IEnumerable GetFilesWithExtensions (this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions) { IEnumerable files = dir.GetFiles(); return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension)); }` – Det Feb 23 '17 at 13:19
Sorry, extension method is supposed to be public if you are calling it from class other the class it resides in. I can't help without access to the project since it looks like there are other problems in your code. – Programmer Feb 23 '17 at 17:50

Modify your code this way, the error will disappear

private IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesWithExtensions(DirectoryInfo dir, string[] extensions)
{
    IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = dir.GetFiles();
    return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension));
}
