Android Build a Weather App Working with JSON Setting CurrentWeather from JSON

Unreachable JSON object

When creating a JSONObject as so

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

Android Studio flags it as an unreachable statement. The entire class is below for some more context. The String "timezone" is reachable by the way.

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

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

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

    CurrentWeather currentWeather = new CurrentWeather();

    currentWeather.setHumidity(currently.getDouble("humidity"));
    currentWeather.setTime(currently.getLong("time"));
    currentWeather.setIcon(currently.getString("icon"));
    currentWeather.setLocationLabel("Alcatraz Island, CA");
    currentWeather.setPrecipChance(currently.getDouble("precipProbability"));
    currentWeather.setSummary(currently.getString("summary"));
    currentWeather.setTemperature(currently.getDouble("temperature"));

    return currentWeather;

}

Never mind, I figured out it was a simple mistake. By returning null early on, I was ending the function before It was supposed to end.
