1,156 Pointshi, i don't find the problem here
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 = getIntent();
String mFuel = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");
}
}
It shows an error
./FlightActivity.java:14: error: cannot find symbol String mFuel = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL"); ^ symbol: method getStringExtra(String) location: variable intent of type Intent 1 error

The question is asking you assign the integer value passed into the activity to the variable mFuelLevel, your code would be correct if we were trying to get a string value we had attached to an Intent. The getIntExtra() method is what we need in this case however. A working example is shown below
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 = getIntent();
mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL",-1);
}
}
Hope this helps
Daniel
