Don't forget to initialize your variable using the AlertDialog.Builder constructor not seeing a class constructor?

im more than likely looking for the wrong thing but the instructions are confusing me are they talking about a class instructor when starting the new dialog builder. Or am i looking for something else thanks?

GuessNumberActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.AlertDialog.Builder;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class GuessNumberActivity extends Activity {
    protected EditText mNumberField ;    
    protected String mUserInput;

    /*
     * onCreate() and other code has been omitted for brevity!
     */

    public void makeGuess() {
       // Check to see if the user's number is correct
        boolean isCorrect = GuessEngine.testGuess(mUserInput);
        mUserInput = mNumberField.getText().toString();
      if(mUserInput.isEmpty()){
           AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(GuessNumberActivity.this);


      }

    }
}
