Create(java.io.InputStream) in Scanner cannot be applied to (java.io.File)

Question

Ahhh!!!
Ahem, when I try to compile the file below, "PhoneDirectory.java", I get the following compilation error message:
PhoneDirectory.java:12: create(java.io.InputStream) in Scanner cannot be applied to (java.io.File)
    Scanner fin = Scanner.create(file);After quite a bit of tweaking... I'm right back where I started. I'm a seasoned programmer, as far as concepts are concerned, but rather new to JAVA.
The error seems to be occuring where a new instance of "Scanner" is supposed to be created. It uses file I/O, and I had only used the Scanner class for the keyboard input in the past.
Looking at the Scanner class, everything seems to be right to me. I'm probably missing some simple fundamental concept, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get it... Please help me shed some light on this situation!

Scanner.java
=========
    This class does input from the keyboard.  To use it you
    create a Scanner using
    Scanner stdin = Scanner.create(System.in);
     then you can read doubles, ints, or strings as follows:
    double d; int i; string s;
    d = stdin.nextDouble();
    i = stdin.nextInt();
    s = stdin.nextLine();
    An unexpected input character will cause an exception.
    You cannot type a letter when it's expecting a double,
    nor can you type a decimal point when it's expecting an int.
import java.io.*;
public class Scanner {
// Simplifies input by returning
// the next value read from the
// keyboard with each call.
  private String s;
  private int start=0, end = 0, next;
  private BufferedReader stdin;
  Scanner(InputStream stream) {
    start = end = 0;
    // set up for keyboard input
    stdin = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(stream));
  public static Scanner create(InputStream stream) {
    return new Scanner(stream);
  double nextDouble() {
     if (start >= end)
       try {
        s = stdin.readLine().trim() + " ";
          start = 0;
         end = s.length();
      catch (IOException e) {System.exit(1);}
     next = s.indexOf(' ',start);
     double d = Double.parseDouble(s.substring(start,next));
     start = next+1;
     return d;
  public int nextInt() {
     if (start >= end)
       try {
        s = stdin.readLine().trim() + " ";
          start = 0;
         end = s.length();
      catch (IOException e) {System.exit(1);}
     next = s.indexOf(' ',start);
     int d = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(start,next));
     start = next+1;
     return d;
  public String nextLine() {
     if (start >= end)
       try {
        s = stdin.readLine().trim() + " ";
          start = 0;
         end = s.length();
      catch (IOException e) {System.exit(1);}
     String t = s.substring(start,s.length()-1);
     start = end = 0;
     return t;

Answer 1

I don't see a Scanner.create() method in the Scanner class but I do see a constructor with the signature you want. Change
Scanner fin = Scanner.create(file);
to
Scanner fin = new Scanner(file);
