package com.example;

import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import android.util.Log;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {

public static final String URL = "teamtreehouse.com";

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

    // Add Task 2 code here
}

}

here's the code, it couldn't pass in the afternoon, and showed there's an error: java 5 error while writing android.util.Log so i do think there would be a complier error but it passed the check just now,

Your code is just fine, but you need to declare this inside the MainListActivity or else you'll get a compile error.
