10,365 PointsHey Maksims,
you are quite close !
Lets dive into the final code of the challenge. Therefor I have modificated and commented your code.
public class PictureBook {
// here you are making a new class
// its public, so everyone can use it
// the name is uppercased, because the class name has to be uppercased in Java
//the class must have two { }
//one after the class name and the second closes the whole code at the end
public String mTitle;
//here yoa are declaring a public String variable
// its public and visible for everyone
// the name of the variable is mTitle
//lowercased m stands for member variable
// its an Android naming convention thing, you will learn more about this in next courses
// after declaration you must use ;
// so the compiler knows where the declaration ends
}
Stay tuned and shout out if you need more help

Dive into the java course. I want to programm for Android but I am on the Java track for 5 month until now. It gives you the necessary basic Java understanding that is quite important for Android programming.
