Finally, we need to update the length of the array returned in the Creator's 'newArray()' method. Use the size parameter

Hi, can u please help me? I am stuck in here.. Thanks!

VideoGame.java 
public class VideoGame implements Parcelable {

    public String mTitle = "";
    public int mYear = 0;

    public VideoGame() {
        // intentionally blank
    }

    // getters and setters omitted for brevity!

    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeString(mTitle);
        dest.writeInt(mYear);
    }

    public VideoGame(Parcel in) {
        // Task 1 code here!
      mTitle = in.readString();
      mYear = in.readInt();
    }

    public static final Creator<VideoGame> CREATOR = new Creator<VideoGame>() {
        @Override
        public VideoGame createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
            // Task 2 code here!
          VideoGame videoGame= new VideoGame(source);
            return videoGame;
        }

        @Override
        public VideoGame[] newArray(int size) {
            // Task 3 code here!
          VideoGame videoGame= new VideoGame[size];
            return new videoGame[0];
        }
    };
}

You are close, let's take a look.

Task 3

Finally, we need to update the length of the array returned in the Creator's 'newArray()' method. Use the size parameter passed in.

Here's the prompting code for that newArray() method:

        @Override
        public VideoGame[] newArray(int size) {
            // Task 3 code here!
            return new VideoGame[0];
        }

To complete the challenge we need to have newArray() return a new VideoGame array of size size, right? We can do that by having it return a new VideoGame[size], which will allow us to call the method in our code as newArray(1500) and we will get a brand new VideoGame array object with a size of 1500.

If you are still stuck, please post back.

Happy coding,

Ken
