Android Build a Weather App (2015) Working with JSON Creating a Model Object

Setters return void?

In POJO challenge of the Build a Weather App section, I'm supposed to create getters and setters. When I try to do return mTitle, it tells me that setters should return void. But when I try return void, it gives me a compiler error about invalid start of expression.

How do I get past this?

Movie.java 
public class Movie {
 private String mTitle;
  private int mYearReleased;

  public String getTitle() {
   return mTitle; 
  }

  public String setTitle(String title) {
    mTitle = title;
    return void;
  }

  public int getYearReleased() {
   return mYearReleased; 
  }

  public int setYearReleased(int year) {
    mYearReleased = year;
    return void;
  }
}

This is where my lack of Java experience comes up... I just needed to set the actual function type to void:

public void setYearReleased(int year) { mYearReleased = year; }
