Stuck on Code challenge; Trying Code and Catching Exceptions, object 1

Bummer! Compilation Error! Declare "URL" above the "onCreate()" method, and remember that constant values are declared using "public static final <data type>".

package com.example;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity
public class String URL = teamtreehouse.com
{

    @Override
  public class String URL(teamtreehouse.com)
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

Hey Nursen Ablay, I'm more than happy to help you. There's a couple of things wrong with your code, and a couple of things you probably want to review before you go any further in Android development.

  1. Your URL variable is outside of the class (should be inside)
  2. You need to follow the directions of the compilation error ("public static final")
  3. Your URL variable doesn't have any quotes and is missing an ;
  4. You are missing a few closing brackets } (you might have left them out intentionally)

This should be a fairly routine variable declaration at this point of the Android tutorials, but it seems like you need more help with some of the Java basics. I would try going back to some of the very first Android videos that explain what a string is, and maybe try looking up the Java tutorials from Oracle: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/
