Hey Daniel,

There is a problem with the following line:

String name = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");

See if you can figure out what is wrong with it and let me know if you still need help!

Hint: If you are still having trouble understanding after rewatching the video, read this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5265913/how-to-use-putextra-and-getextra-for-string-data

Good luck! :)
