I can't do it

when I write this package com.teamtreehouse;

public class TreehouseActivity extends Activity {

public static final String TAG = TreeHouseActivity.class.getSimpleName();

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

} Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); } it comes like this ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:15: error: expected Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); ^ ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:15: error: expected Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); ^ ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:15: error: illegal start of type Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); ^ ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:15: error: cannot find symbol Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); ^ symbol: class TAG location: class TreehouseActivity ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:15: error: cannot find symbol Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!"); ^ symbol: class d location: class Log ./com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java:5: error: cannot find symbol public static final String TAG = TreeHouseActivity.class.getSimpleName(); ^ symbol: class TreeHouseActivity location: class TreehouseActivity 6 errors What to do

Hi Vedang - You need to put the Log statement inside the onCreate() method. In your code, it is outside onCreate().
