Error of compilation chapter 3

📚 Official Books Android Apprentice
1

Hello !
I am a beginner in Android development and I wanted to start learning with Kotlin. I bought the android apprentice book and I am currently following chapter 3. On page 71, I try to run the app after implementing the countdowntimer and I have 2 compilations errors:

1/ Object is not abstract and does not implement abstract base class member public abstract fun onFinish(): Unit defined in android.os.CountDownTimer
2/ ‘OnFinish’ overrides nothing

Would you have some explanation ?

Thank you very much for your help
Regards
Jérôme

I used the source code provided by the book and it runs perfectly when using the full code, so I probably did something wrong !

Hope to hear back soon,
