No idea what code challenge wants me to do (Android "making a self-destructing app" stage3)

so the question code challenge gives us is "We have a Button (mDeleteButton) in our Fragment class below. Set it to the button in the layout with the ID of 'deleteButton'."

But I have no idea what I need to do,any help will be great! thanks

PhotoFragment.java
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;

public class PhotoFragment extends Fragment {

    public Button mDeleteButton;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
        return rootView;
    }
}
MainActivity.java
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

    public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

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

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {

    }
}

well I accidentally found the answer(https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/stuck-on-code-challenge-4),but why should I typed like that?

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
        mDeleteButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton); // This is how your Button should be set :)
        return rootView;
    }

Because you're using Frangments: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html That's the way you it should be done.
