the compiler returns an error saying:

requestedDevices.add() .getResource("Resource.java");

I believe I need to define the method add but don't how or if this will work???

The add() method is contained within the ArrayList class, and expects to get a parameter of type Resource. For instance, let's say you created ArrayList of type String and you wanted to add a new element to it, it would look something like this:

import java.util.ArrayList;
 
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ArrayList<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>(0);
 
        strings.add("New string to add");  //This will add the new String element to the ArrayList
        System.out.prinltn(string.get(0));  // Print the first element in the ArrayList
    }
}

In other words you need to pass a Resource object as the parameter in the add(parameter goes here) method.
