Java

import android.os.Bundle;
import java.io.File;
import java.lang.Object;
import android.widget.Button;

public class able extends myClass{
    private static void MyStatic(){
        int torrent = value(any);
        value.insert(0, ".");
        Button button2 = new Button(findViewById.R.ID.new_listview2);
        setOnClickListener();

        FileReader(ExternalFilesDir);
        getExternalFilesDir();
        FileReader(FilesDir);
        getFilesDir();
        if(any.isActive){
            get.any();
            show.any(findViewById.R.ID.new_listview2);
        }
        else if(){
            get(any);
            show.any();
            start.mp();
            show.mp(findByView.R.popup-defaultplayer);
        }else{
            return;	
        }

        mp = create.MediaPlayer.show();
        if(mediaplayer.isActive){
            mediaplayerClick(true);
            start.mp();
        }else{
            return;	
        }
    }
}

What I have tried:

adding extra curly brace and removing curly brace

You have an else if with no test in the if:

else if(){

I'd start by fixing that to see if it affects any of the other errors.

Solution 1

Look at your code:

Java

else if(){

Empty condition ... that's throwing up all the subsequent errors.

A look at the first 2 items shows the problems to be on lines 24 & 29. This appears to be a simple if...else if... else block; however, there is no condition for the else if() section. Fixing this should also take care of line 29 as well

Java

if(any.isActive){
	get.any();
	show.any(findViewById.R.ID.new_listview2);
}
else if(){			// line 24
	get(any);
	show.any();
	start.mp();
	show.mp(findByView.R.popup-defaultplayer);
}else{				// line 29
	return;
}

Lines 34 & 37 are also an if...then block; and again fixing the condition should take care of both errors indicated

Java

if(mediaplayer.isActive){	// Line34
	mediaplayerClick(true);
	start.mp();
}else{						// Line 37
	return;
}
