The first part of the challenge requires you to create an instance of the Intent class and get the intent. You can do so using the following: 

// getIntent() is used to get the intent that started the Activity
Intent i = getIntent();

For the next part, you need to set the value for mFuelLevel using an extra that was passed to the new Activity with the intent which you just stored in the instance variable i. You can do so using the following code: 

// The getIntExtra() method is what you had to look for in the docs. 
mFuelLevel = i.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);

Hope that helped answer your question!
