Im not showing any errors, but something is not "quite right"

`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(getSimpleName(), "Activity created!");

} }

com/teamtreehouse/TreehouseActivity.java 
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(getSimpleName(), "Activity created!");
  }
}

use the TAG variable thats defined at the start of the class, not getSimpleName:

package com.teamtreehouse;

public class TreehouseActivity extends Activity {

  public static final String TAG = "TreehouseActivity";

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_treehouse);
    Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!");

  }
}
