Getting data from the web

In the 'catch' block for the IOException, add a line to log it using the Log.e() method that takes an Exception as its 3rd parameter. Use the String "CodeChallenge" for the 1st parameter and any String for the 2nd parameter. pliz assist

com/example/MainListActivity.java 
package com.example;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {

    public static final String URL = "teamtreehouse.com";

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

        try {

            URL treehouseUrl = new URL(URL);
          HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) treehouseUrl.openConnection();
          connection.connect();
          int httpResponsecode = connection.getResponseCode();




        }
        catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            Log.e("CodeChallenge", "MalformedURLException caught!", e);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
          Log.e(TAG,  "Exception caught: ",e);

        }
    }
}

Hie. The problem with your code is in the first parameter of the Log.e() method. You are passing in TAG instead of "Code Challenge " as required. So you need to replace TAG with "Code Challenge" since the first parameter required is a String. That should work.
