Challenge task 2 of 2 in Stage 4 of Android Development

I am experiencing difficulties with the following challenge: "Inside 'onPostExecute()', set the member variable 'mStatus' to the value passed into 'onPostExecute()'. Then call the 'updateStatusLabel()' method of 'CustomActivity'."

I tried to do the following, but initial results have been unsatisfactory: @Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { mStatus = result; CustomActivity.onPostExecute();

Thanks in advance for your support,

Yea you need to drop that CustomActivity.onPostExecute(), just simply replace that with your call to updateStatusLabel()

It looks like you're trying to call the method from within the method itself. Looking at the instructions it looks like you just need to make a call to the updateStatusLabel method.
