I believe it's ok, but it says: Compilation Error. Any ideas?

//Problem: Finally, set the 'responseData' String variable with the data in 'charArray'. Convert it using the String constructor that takes a char array as its parameter.

// Code to read InputStream goes here!
        InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
    Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
    char[] charArray = new char[connection.getContentLength()];
    reader.read(charArray);
    String responseData = new String(charArray);

Hi Pedro

I think the responseData variable is already declared at the very top of the example, so you just need: responseData = new String(charArray);

Thanks Jason,

You are absolutely right I didn't noticed that the variable was already declared.
