Android log class name...simpleName

Part 2 seems difficult. Just did Part one successfully but part2 has an error. A simpleName method has been used as instructed instead of hard-coding to get the class name. Error: make sure you're using the class name/type mismatch

TreehouseActivity.kt 
import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle

class TreehouseActivity : Activity() {
  val TAG = TreehouseActivity:: class.java.simpleName

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_treehouse)
    Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!")

  }
}

Hi there,

Your code passed the challenge for me but the challenge seems to be having intermittent problems. I had to try a few times before it went through OK.

Steve. 

val TAG = TreehouseActivity::class.java.simpleName

Thanks Steve. I don't know why kotlin keep having errors. I would have chosen java rather than kotlin.
