Error : String cannot be resolved to a type

Question

I am trying to get my sltag value but I got some errors in my code. Please help me solve this error.

I have one XML file. I want to display that XML file node value one spinner and child node value value one tab etc... so I am using a SAX parser.

error lines

public ArrayList<Subchild> getSLTag() {
    ArrayList<String> SLTag = new ArrayList <Sting>();
    for(int i = 0; i<xmlTagInfo.size(); i++);
    SLTag.add(xmlTagInfo.get(i).sltag);
}

2nd and 4th line error error is

Multiple markers at this line
- Sting cannot be resolved to a type
- ArrayList cannot be resolved to a type
i cannot be resolved

Can you improve your question by correcting obvious mistakes? I can only speak for myself, but I don't like to read questions that are hard to read/understand because of poor language. — migu, Jan 20 '12 at 12:32
@migu Couldn't agree more. I just move to another question now. — Ricky, Jan 20 '12 at 12:37
And this question is ***very*** similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8574402/error-type-mismatch-cannot-convert-from-arraylistsubchild-to-arrayliststrin. It even shows up in the right hand side related questions. — Perception, Jan 20 '12 at 12:37

The other answers already gave some solutions. What's more:

for(int i = 0; i<xmlTagInfo.size(); i++);

should be

for(int i = 0; i<xmlTagInfo.size(); i++)

error : The method add(String) in the type ArrayList is not applicable for the arguments (ArrayList) – balaji Jan 20 '12 at 12:39
That error appears about right doesn't it? You're adding objects to `SLTag` (bad name) which are of the wrong type. So, you either change `SLTag` or make sure what you add are `String`s. – Ben van Gompel Jan 20 '12 at 12:41
My guess: `SLTag` should be of type `ArrayList` and you should use `addAll` instead of `add`. – Ben van Gompel Jan 20 '12 at 12:44
Did you also change `SLTag`? Like so: `ArrayList SLTag = new ArrayList();` – Ben van Gompel Jan 20 '12 at 12:49
Then you cannot get the same error. I need to see the code you have now plus error messages to be able to help further. – Ben van Gompel Jan 20 '12 at 12:55

You have misspelled String in your code. You have placed Sting. (cool guy by the way, love the song "Fields of gold")
To use ArrayList you need to include import java.util.ArrayList at the top of your sourcecode

it's spell mistake in this statement

ArrayList<String> SLTag = new ArrayList <Sting>(); // check the spell

it's String not Sting

ArrayList<String> SLTag = new ArrayList <String>();
