Assume this code has an instance variable named listings that is an ActiveListings object. It holds an array of Listing

Trying to parse out the wording of the question. This is step one, and the error I get:

Bummer! You need to access the 'listings' instance variable within the onBindViewHolder method.

public void onBindViewHolder(ListingHolder holder, int position) {
  Listing listing = activeListings.results[position]; // Set this variable!
}
ListingsAdapter.java 
// This is an excerpt from the full file.

public void onBindViewHolder(ListingHolder holder, int position) {
  Listing listing; // Set this variable!
}

It holds an array of Listing objects that can be accessed by the results property. Within the onBindViewHolder method below, use listings to set the listing variable to the Listing object specified by the position parameter....

I think I have it...NVM:

public void onBindViewHolder(ListingHolder listingHolder, int position) { final Listing listing = listings.results[position];

Hi Charles,

public void onBindViewHolder(ListingHolder holder, int position) {
  Listing listing = listings.results[position]; // Set this variable!
}

The ActiveListings object is called "listings" so we will use that to call our method.. "results". "results" is an array and in order to get a certain object out of the array, we need to know its position. This is given to us with "position"

I hope this helps, if not let me know.
