StoryActivity.java error

Hi, I have issue on this code: What would you do to solve this?

<p> @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_story);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String name = intent.getStringExtra(getString(R.string.key_name));

    if (name == null) {
        name = "Friend";
    }

    }
 < Log.d(TAG, name); /p>

the TAG has error and give Log Cat of

```Error:(14, 37) error: '{' expected Error:(14, 63) error: <identifier> expected Error:(14, 64) error: invalid method declaration; return type required Error:(29, 14) error: <identifier> expected Error:(29, 18) error: <identifier> expected Error:(29, 24) error: <identifier> expected Error:(31, 6) error: reached end of file while parsing Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.

Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.```

Hi Muhammad, Your log statement needs to be within the onCreate() method - Currently it sits outside the closing } for the onCreate() Method

Have you defined TAG as a member variable (at the top - outside a method but within a class). Should be something like:

private static final String TAG = Mainactivity.class.getsimplename();
