I don't know what to do, the question is:
Use a method to set the TAG variable instead of hard-coding the class name as "TreehouseActivity". We want just the class name by itself without the package name: is it getName() or getSimpleName()? Change the "TreehouseActivity" string to the correct method call (ex. TreehouseActivity.class.<insert correct method>).
package com.teamtreehouse;
public class TreehouseActivity extends Activity {
public static final String TAG = "TreehouseActivity";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_treehouse);
Log.d(TAG, "Activity Created!");
}
}

So you could create a method called setTag() and pass the result of that into the TAG variable, like so :
public void setTag() { this.TAG = TreehouseActivity.class.getSimpleName(); }

public static final String TAG = TreehouseActivity.class.getSimpleName();
