CodeChallengeActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

public class CodeChallengeActivity extends Activity {

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, CommentActivity.class);// Some code has been omitted

    public void addComment() {

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://somewhere.com/song.mp3")

Hello,

First, all of your code you want for this should be in the addComment() method. So you want to replace 

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://somewhere.com/song.mp3")

with

Intent intent = new Intent(this, CommentActivity.class);

Then for the second task you want to add flags to the intent. This is achieved by using the addFlags method of your Intent. You can find out more about the flags that addFlags takes here. If you need more help let me know and please provide updated code so that I can assist you from where you currently are at.
