What do I do here? This is the code I made for the challenge: import android.os.Bundle;
public class FlightActivity extends Activity {
public int mFuelLevel = 0;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
Intent intent = getIntent(); mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");} } Here is the error: ./FlightActivity.java:14: error: method getIntExtra in class Intent cannot be applied to given types; mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");} ^ required: String,int found: String reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length 1 error

getIntExtra takes in two arguments, the first being the key for the value you want to retrieve, and the second is a default value in case there is no value to return. If you pass in the default value the challenge asks for you should be able to pass this challenge.
