How can i solve this Task

It looks very easy but I cant solve it.

LandingActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LandingActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public Button thrustButton;
    public TextView typeLabel;
    public EditText passengersField;

    public Spaceship spaceship;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);

        thrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
        typeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
        passengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);

    Spaceship spaceship = new Spaceship();

     public LandingActivity(String paceship) {
        this.spaceship = spaceship;
}
}
Spaceship.java
public class Spaceship {
    private String shipType;
    private int numPassengers = 0;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }

    public int getNumPassengers() {
      return numPassengers;
    }

    public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
      this.numPassengers = numPassengers;
    }

    public Spaceship() {
      shipType = "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public Spaceship(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }
}

Hi there! First, the variable spaceship is already declared. You just need to create an instance of the class, so there's no reason to have Spaceship spaceship. You're supposed to be sending in the string "FIREFLY", but right now, you're not sending in anything to the constructor. Try including the string inside the parentheses where you make your new object. Also, the last function in your code (the one you added yourself) is not required by the challenge.

Hope these hints help, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
