Challenge Using JSONObject - Android

I have no idea what is wrong with this?...

It says the JSONObject has already been created. And as far as I'm aware this is how I get values from the JSONObject Model... I'm getting compiler errors though

JSONChallenge.java
// A JSONObject variable named 'jsonData'
// was loaded from the data.json file.

String name = jsonData.getString("name");
String publisher = jsonData.getString("publisher");
String publisher = jsonData.getString("language");
data.json
{
    "name":"Treehouse Book Series",
    "publisher":"Wiley",
    "language":"English",
    "books":[
        {
            "title":"HTML5 Foundations",
            "author":"Matt West",
            "pages":384
        },
        {
            "title":"CSS3 Foundations",
            "author":"Ian Lunn",
            "pages":352
        }
    ]
}

I did notice that I used "publisher" twice so I just re-did it and it said it was fine...
