I'm completely stuck on the challenge after the "Formatting Strings" video in "Build an Interactive Story App".

I've done the first step, but I have no idea what to do in the second step. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Solution for all 3 challenges is:

//setup new spaceship object  
        mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");

//set the text for the mTypeLabel TextView by using Spaceship's type  
      mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());

//store the number of passengers in the ship...
      mPassengersField.setText("" + mSpaceship.getNumPassengers());

The objective: You need to set the text for the mTypeLabel TextView using the Spaceship model's getType() function to get the type.

Try to figure it out on your own!

If you still get stuck, here's the solution: 

mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());

Thank you. I just figured it out on my own right before I saw your reply. Sometimes walking away from the computer for a short while really helps out.
