Error: Non-static method 'setHumidity(double)' cannot be referenced from a static context.

Similar error for setTime, setIcon, etc.

private CurrentWeather getCurrentDetails(String jsonData) throws JSONException {
        JSONObject forecast = new JSONObject(jsonData);

        String timezone = forecast.getString("timezone");
        Log.i(TAG, "From JSON: " + timezone);

        JSONObject currently = forecast.getJSONObject("currently");

        CurrentWeather currentWeather = new CurrentWeather();
        CurrentWeather.setHumidity(currently.getDouble("humidity"));
        CurrentWeather.setTime(currently.getLong("time"));
        CurrentWeather.setIcon(currently.getString("icon"));

        return new CurrentWeather();
    }

public class CurrentWeather {
    private String mIcon;
    private long mTime;
    private double mTemperature;
    private double mHumidity;
    private double mPrecipChance;
    private String mSummary;

...

  public void setHumidity(double humidity) {
        mHumidity = humidity;
    }

...

OK, I figured out my mistake. I was using the class CurrentWeather instead of the variable currentWeather. That static error sure didn't help any. Just a simple lowercase vs. uppercase oversight with big consequences.

   CurrentWeather currentWeather = new CurrentWeather();
        currentWeather.setHumidity(currently.getDouble("humidity"));
        currentWeather.setTime(currently.getLong("time"));
        currentWeather.setIcon(currently.getString("icon"));
        currentWeather.setPrecipChance(currently.getDouble("precipProbability"));
        currentWeather.setSummary(currently.getString("summary"));
        currentWeather.setTemperature(currently.getDouble("temperature"));
