In Java/Android, we start a variable declaration with the type of object it is, followed by its name.
On the declaration side, we don't actually use the keyword equals, instead we use the equals symbol itself = followed by the value (You can have anything for this - whatever your favorite color is!). Finally, we finish the line off with a semicolon, which has already been done for you.
Also, I highly recommend you take a look at the Java Track. Android uses the Java language so if you get stuck with these concepts, the track will certainly help you understand them! If that's a bit much to learn and you want to get into Android quickly, I would at least recommend looking at the Java Basics course.
Hopefully this information should help you get through the challenge but if you get stuck along the way, let me know. Also, if you have any further questions, you can either leave them in the Comments here or tag me on the forums with @Harry James :)
