Hiya,

First you need to declare an intent variable, as you have done:

    Intent intent = getIntent();

You then need to use that variable to access the info passed over the intent when the activity was started. You assign the value of that into the variable, mFuelLevel, that is provided for you.

    mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);

I hope that helps.

Steve.
