Cannot resolve symbol data when creating the Hour array

When adding the array for Hour, data.length gives an error stating it cannot resolve the symbol

I'm not sure what I've missed here. 

private Hour[] getHourlyForecast(String jsonData) throws JSONException{
    JSONObject forecast = new JSONObject(jsonData);
    String timezone = forecast.getString("timezone");
    JSONObject hourly = forecast.getJSONObject("hourly");
    JSONArray date = hourly.getJSONArray("data");

    Hour[] hours = new Hour[data.length()];

    for (int i = 0; i < data.length(); i++){
        JSONObject jsonHour = data.getJSONObject(i);
    }
}

The full source is on bitbucket here https://bitbucket.org/dustin_p/stormy/src/b6054c3f5fa664cb15570d074375063cd1904135/app/src/main/java/taubin/us/stormy/ui/MainActivity.java?at=master I'm sure I've just missed something, but I'm not seeing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I found the issue after looking at the example provided at the beginning of the lesson. I had JSONArray date = hourly.getJSONArray("data"); instead of JSONArray data = hourly.getJSONArray("data"); on line 188

That seems to be the only change between the files that I can see and changing it seems to have corrected the issue.
