'TAG' has private access in 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity'

Question

Almost everything in my activity is working fine, except for wherever TAG is referenced. TAG gets a red line and says: \'TAG\' has private access

Answer 1

Practical note: following is the better approach

private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

as compared to:

private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
