The compiler doesn't seem to see the inner class created, which extends Thread.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
final TwitterClient twitterClient = new TwitterClient();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Awesome t = new Awesome(twitterClient);
t.setName("TwitterThread");
t.start();
}
private class Awesome extends Thread {
private TwitterClient mTwit;
public Awesome(TwitterClient t) {
mTwit = t;
}
@Override
public void run(){
mTwit.update();
}
}
}

Since you created a custom constructor, when the verification is running it is not passing because your inner class constructor doesn't match what it is expecting. If you add a default constructor to your class it will pass. As a tip, when doing these challenges, if you add a custom constructor, I would always add a default as well. It's hard to predict what the test validation is using. Just add this to your inner class:
public Awesome() {}

10,566 PointsThanks, I already solved it the problem as you said was in adding the constructor and making the class private.
