The android Log problem

Question

The task is: "Inside the 'onCreate()' method (after the 'setContentView()' call), log the message "Activity created!" using the Log debug method (remember that it's just one letter). The 1st parameter should be "MainActivity", but use the member variable instead of typing it out a second time. The 2nd parameter is the message "Activity created!" I get errror: "Bummer! Compilation Error! The Log debug call must be inside the onCreate() method, and don't forget 'Log' before the method call since it's a static method of the Log class." With this code:

package com.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  public static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
    Log.d(MainActivity, "Activity created!");
  }
}

Can someone please hint or help me with this since im stuck :( Thanks!
