Bummer! The Activity has a special method to 'get' the 'Intent' used to start it. Are you calling it? Preview

please some help!

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
  private static final String TAG = FlightActivity.class.getSimpleName();
  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    // Add your code below!
    Intent intent = new Intent(this,FlightActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);

  }
}

Hey Daniel,

First, look at the error:

Bummer! The Activity has a special method to 'get' the 'Intent' used to start it. Are you calling it?

It looks like you're doing the opposite in the code, you need to get the data from the intent that was used to start it. Try rewatching the video to gain a better understanding of intents and attempt the challenge again. If you still need help, let me know! :)

Hint: If you still can't understand intents after rewatching the video, here is a super helpful link explaining putting and getting data http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5265913/how-to-use-putextra-and-getextra-for-string-data
