Getting Data from an Intent. Challenge 2 of 2

Now set mFuelLevel the the value from the Intent. Check the Intent documentation if you need help finding the correct method to use. Use "FUEL_LEVEL" as the key and -1 as the default value.

Not sure why my code is not passing:

// Add your code below!

Intent intent = getIntent();

mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");

if (mFuelLevel == null) {

  mFuelLevel = -1;

}

The documentation shows getIntExtra as taking two parameters: 

public int getIntExtra (String name, int defaultValue)

It looks like in your code you are just passing it one parameter so be sure to add the defaultValue. Once you do this, you won't need the if statement.

I can't believe I overlooked that! Thanks!

I think first you have to declare the mFuelLevel variable as an integer and set the default value -1 as a default parameter:

Intent intent = getIntent();

int mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);

This should do the work!

Hey! I believe the mFuelLevel variable is declared before the code snippet that I included. Jack's solution worked for me.

Thanks for the response
