doInBackground(Object...params)

private class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Object.. arg0) {
      return " ";

     }

  }

Above is what I did for challenge task 2 but I am getting an error message saying that the syntax isn't correct. What have I done wrong here?

It looks like you're really close! I believe you messed up on the:

"and then simply return an empty String in the body."

You are returning a String, but it's not empty. The String you are returning is a space. return " ";. An empty string looks like this return ""; Even though it looks like a small change, it is a BIG difference. Keep coding!
