You're making it an array of strings by adding the brackets. Get rid of the brackets to make it a String.

Hello Uros,

To create a public String variable and initialize it to an empty string in Java, the syntax is 

public String varName = "";

Apply this syntax to your mTitle variable declaration. I hope this helps.
