912 Pointscan not find symbol
It is saying can not find symbol and is pointing tot he . attaching intent to getStringExtra().
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
public int mFuelLevel = 0;
public String name = "";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
// Add your code below!
Intent intent = getIntent();
name = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");
}
}

28,770 PointsYou're getting that message because there's no String Extra named "FUEL_LEVEL" in the Intent.
A couple of points for the second part of the challenge:
mFuelLevel is what you want to update, not name.
There's a link in the challenge text which leads you to the documentation for the method you want to use.
You're trying to get the "FUEL_LEVEL" value, and you'll also want to set the default value to -1 on your method call, which is getIntExtra()
Intent intent = getIntent();
mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);

5,127 Pointsyou are suppossed to use the method getIntExtra() instead because you are trying to retrieve a value that is an integer and not a String
