    which is normal. a Java file can only contain one (non static) public class – Stultuske Jun 21 '21 at 07:43

    If you indent your code consistently, you'll see that you try to declare a class inside the body of the `onCreate()` method. And that doesn't make sense in Java. I'd recommend that you read some material about the overall structure of multi-class Java programs. – Ralf Kleberhoff Jun 21 '21 at 08:02
  • hi, but can you please clear why it's allowing me to declare class as default , when i declare same DOWNLOAD CLASS as default class (access specifer) it is not throwing any errors. – KHUSHAL Tiwary Jun 21 '21 at 08:38

Lol, error solved - I was creating public Class DownLoad inside OnCreate method , Reality is you just can't create a class inside a method that is already inside a class called "Main". aka - Methods can be created inside class, not wise-versa. Sorry for the silly mistake .
