parse Error Message

Set the title for the alert as "Hooray!", and set the message to "You did it!". Don't worry about setting any button text. Were am i going wrong???

GuessNumberActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.AlertDialog.Builder;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class GuessNumberActivity extends Activity {

    protected String mUserInput;

    protected EditText mUsername;
   protected EditText mPassword;
   protected EditText mEmail;
   protected EditText mNumberField; 



    public void makeGuess() {

    mUserInput = mNumberField.getText().toString();

        // Set mUserInput here!        

        // Check to see if the user's number is correct
        boolean isCorrect = GuessEngine.testGuess(mUserInput);
      if(isCorrect == true){
          AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(GuessNumberActivity.this);
          builder.setMessage("You did it!");
          builder.setTitle("Hooray!");


          }

    }

Seems like you are missing a closing } at the end. You close out the if and the makeGuess function, but not the public class

The problem is not makeGuess. You are missing a final } at the end.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.AlertDialog.Builder;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class GuessNumberActivity extends Activity {

  protected String mUserInput;

  protected EditText mUsername;
  protected EditText mPassword;
  protected EditText mEmail;
  protected EditText mNumberField; 



  public void makeGuess() {

    mUserInput = mNumberField.getText().toString();

        // Set mUserInput here!        

        // Check to see if the user's number is correct
    boolean isCorrect = GuessEngine.testGuess(mUserInput);
    if(isCorrect == true){
      AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(GuessNumberActivity.this);
      builder.setMessage("You did it!");
      builder.setTitle("Hooray!");


    }
  }
}
