Easy Sharing with Intents Task 4

This is what I have:

if (itemId == R.id.action_share) {
    // Add code here!
  Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
  shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
  shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Some text");
  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, R.string.chooser_title));
}

The errors I get when running it is:

JavaTester.java:56: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method createChooser(android.content.Intent,int)
location: class android.content.Intent
  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, R.string.chooser_title));
                      ^
1 error

What am I missing?

You forget about getString(R.string.chooser_title).
