Hello,

From the state of your code, I'm going to guess you're on Task 2. My first suggestion is to get rid of the onCreate() that you wrote since there technically is one that has been hidden. All this task is doing is asking you set mUserInput to be equal the text of mNumberField when you first enter the makeGuess() method. I hope this gets you on your way to solving this Task, if not, please provide your update code and I will try to assist you further.
