2nd Parameter ?

Inside the onCreate() method (after the setContentView() call), log the message "Activity created!" using the Log debug method (remember that it's just one letter). The 1st parameter should be "TreehouseActivity", but use the TAG variable instead of typing it out a second time. The 2nd parameter is the message.

..... ..... ..... ..... Log.d(TAG, ???); ; } }

What is "the message", the log itself ? how do I do that ... :'( ?

Hi Ege,

The message you're supposed to log is "Activity created!"

Try something like:

Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!");

The first part is the "tag", the second part (after the comma) is the message you want to log

Hope this helps!
