AsyncTask assignment

Getting a bit frustrated. Is anyone else having trouble with the editor for this quiz.

I'm putting this sequence:

private class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {

right after the last catch statement } but the editor says my syntax is incorrect.... any thoughts?

Can you paste your full code here?

import android.view.View;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import android.util.Log;
import android.os.AsyncTask;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {

    public static final String URL = "http://www.teamtreehouse.com";
    public static final String TAG = MainListActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

        try {
            URL treehouseUrl = new URL(URL);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) treehouseUrl.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
        }
        catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "MalformedURLException caught!", e);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "IOException caught!", e);
        }
    private class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String>{ 
      };

Sorry for the trouble - did you change anything to make it work or was it just an issue with our Code Challenge engine?

Thanks ben..I didn't change anything but it worked so I'm happy. Great course BTW

Excellent. We had some code challenge improvements roll out (as well as having some in the works), so hopefully these issues will become fewer and fewer.
