what's wrong with my code?

LaunchActivity.java 
import android.content.Intent;

    mLaunchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
    mLaunchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override

        // Add your code in here!

There is no method called startFlightActivity. First you need to create an intent that can be used to start the FlightActivity as in the code below:

Intent intent = new Intent(LaunchActivity.this, FlightActivity.class);

Then you can start the new activity:

startActivity(intent);
