Bummer! Make sure you create two HashMap variables using <String, String> as the two generic types.

Hi

I am getting this error..... I keep looking at my code and i cannot figure it out why :(

WebsiteListActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;

public class WebsiteListActivity extends ListActivity {

    public static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
    public static final String KEY_URL = "url";

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

        String[] keys = { KEY_NAME, KEY_URL };
        int[] ids = { android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2 };

      String site1 = "google";
      String site2 = "www.google.com";

      HashMap<String,String> item = new HashMap<String,String>();
      item.put(KEY_NAME,site1);
      item.put(KEY_URL,site2);
    }
}

It's looking for you to have two separate sites, both with a name and a URL expressed as a HashMap. So each site needs to be its own HashMap:

      HashMap<String, String> site1 = new HashMap<String, String>();
      site1.put(keys[0], "google");
      site1.put(keys[1], "google.com");

      HashMap<String, String> site2 = new HashMap<String, String>();
      site2.put(keys[0], "bing");
      site2.put(keys[1], "bing.com");
