Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) Intents and Multiple Activities Getting Data from an Intent

Hello, I am having an issue with one of the challenges under stage 2 Intents and Multiple Activities.

I have the correct answer, but for some reason, the grading system isn't taking it. Can someone see if I'm doing something wrong?

Intent intent = getIntent();

intent.putExtra("FUEL_LEVEL",mFuelLevel);

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    // Add your code below!
    //Intent intent = new Intent(LaunchActivity.this, FlightActivity.class);
    Intent intent = getIntent();

    intent.putExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", mFuelLevel);

  }
}

Hello,

Currently you're trying to put an extra into the intent. However, the Challenge is wanting you to get a value from the intent that was used to start this Activity and assign that to mFuelLevel.
