java - Unreachable Statement in Strings of Array -

package com.example.dennis.sunshine.app;  import android.os.bundle; import android.support.v4.app.fragment; import android.view.layoutinflater; import android.view.view; import android.view.viewgroup;  import java.util.arraylist; import java.util.arrays; import java.util.list;   /**  * placeholder fragment containing simple view.  */ public class mainactivityfragment extends fragment {      public mainactivityfragment() {     }      @override     public view oncreateview(layoutinflater inflater, viewgroup container,                              bundle savedinstancestate) {         return inflater.inflate(r.layout.fragment_main, container, false);           string[] forecastarray = {         "today - sunny - 88 / 63",         "tomorrow - foggy - 70 / 46",         "weds - cloudy - 72 / 63",         "thurs - rainy - 64 / 51",         "fri - foggy - 70 / 46",         "sat - sunny - 76 / 68"         };          list<string> weekforecast = new arraylist<string>(arrays.aslist(forecastarray));     } } 

i'm trying follow tutorial on creating arraylist on ide stumble upon error shows @ string[] forecastarray = ..... }; saying 'unreachable statement'.

your method end on line (notice return statement):

return inflater.inflate(r.layout.fragment_main, container, false); 

anything after line unreachable, in other words, can never execute.
