Why can't a variable be converted to an integer?

Question

Java

For some reason it throws an error
'startStories()' in 'jp.shts.android.storiesprogressview.StoriesProgressView' cannot be applied to '(int)'
Even though the "counter" variable is initially set to int. Or I do not understand something?

public class StoryViewActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements StoriesProgressView.StoriesListener {

    int counter = 0;
    long pressTime = 0L;
    final long limit = 500L;

        ConstraintLayout message = findViewById(R.id.message);

        if (userid.equals(Objects.requireNonNull(FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser()).getUid())){
            r_seen.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            story_delete.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            message.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        r_seen.setOnClickListener(v -> {
            Intent intent = new Intent(StoryViewActivity.this, ViewedActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("id",userid);
            intent.putExtra("storyid",storyids.get(counter));
            startActivity(intent);
        });

        story_delete.setOnClickListener(v -> {
            DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Story")
                    .child(userid).child(storyids.get(counter));
            reference.removeValue();
        });

        reverse.setOnClickListener(v -> storiesProgressView.reverse());
        reverse.setOnTouchListener(onTouchListener);

        skip.setOnClickListener(v -> storiesProgressView.skip());
        skip.setOnTouchListener(onTouchListener);

Separate line with an error:
storiesProgressView.startStories(counter);

Part of the code had to be removed due to restrictions

Answer 1

'startStories()' in 'jp.shts.android.storiesprogressview.StoriesProgressView' cannot be applied to '(int)'

The startStories() method cannot be applied to (int).
Those. the method does not accept anything, and you passed a variable to it.
