you named your toast variable wrong and you forgot the . between Toast and makeText.

you were supposed to use the variable that was there at the start of the challenge. when you start the challenge it looks like this:

Toast allDoneToast;

so then you just add the assignment to that, be sure and include the . between Toast and makeText

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

once you fix those two small issues you should be able to move on to the next task of the challenge

did you leave the code from the first two tasks in place? I tried using your code and passed just fine:

code for task 3:

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
allDoneToast.show();

Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

I did it and still have one error.

JavaTester.java:31: allDoneToast is already defined in run() Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

post the code you have in your challenge. your code needs to look like this:

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

if you have something similar to whats below thats not correct. only declare it once.

//this is not correct. you have the same variable declared twice
Toast allDoneToast; 
Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
