Getting JSON Data from an HTTP request Code challenge

On the final task of the challenge 5 of 5 I set the String variable responseData = new String(charArray); as it is in the video shown , also in the same way it is in the project files source code of the app. I've double and triple check the syntax and it looks fine. But the compiler error still throwin a message "JavaTester.java:74: responseData is already defined in run() String responseData = new String(charArray); ^ 1 error"

I am not able to complete the code challange.

Thanks in advance.

Without seeing your code, I couldn't say for certain but it sounds like you've already declared responseData as a variable in that function.

Try this

responseData = new String(charArray);

instead of this

String responseData = new String(charArray);
