28,449 PointsIf I get this right, you're are stuck at step one of the challenge. The task is written a bit confusing, but you are required to just declare that intent variable. Nothing else. Meaning the only line of code you need, in order to complete task 1, is:
Intent intent = getIntent();
EDIT: I notice you're trying to use getStringExtra. You are about to encounter another problem in task two. Make sure you pay attention to what type of variable you're using throughout the challenges. In the videos, you do the examples with String. What about the challenges? Is getStringExtra the method you need here?
