I am making a relatively simple app for a school project. This is my first time working with android studio btw. The purpose of the app is to be able to draw inside of a given area, the code for the drawing part I copied from here: https://guides.codepath.com/android/Basic-Painting-with-Views I'm pretty sure that android studio converted the code into kotlin when I pasted it in, but I might be wrong about that.
The error is showing up in my androidmanifest, in the line '<activity android:name"com.example.colourkiller.Drawactivity". The "com.example.colourkiller.Drawactivity" is marked in red, and the error says: "Drawactivity must extend android.app.activity" and "This class should provide a default instructor"

I've already tried:
- Updating everything to the latest versions
- Rebuilding the project
- Invalidate Cashes/restart
I think the problem is in the defining of the class in MainActivity, but as this is my first time using androidstudio I'm not too sure. Any help is greatly appreciated!
