I've seen a few users get stuck on this question. I'll try to rephrase it in a way that's easier to understand:
What you want to do is get the text from the EditText and then convert that text into a string (Hint: There's two methods required to do this and you will need to chain them together). The value of petName should contain these two methods.
If you need any more help, give me a shout! :)
