Courses Plus Student 13,077 PointsURL syntax error?
I put exactly what I am supposed to put and I get an error
this is what I put
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 static final String mURL ="teamtreehouse.com";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);
// Add Task 2 code here
}
}
and here is the error I get
JavaTester.java:42: cannot find symbol symbol : variable URL location: class com.example.MainListActivity if (!MainListActivity.URL.equals(correctUrl)) { ^ 1 error

Treehouse TeacherI can see how this is slightly confusing. The convention for static variables is to put them in all caps. I will amend this challenge to remove the word member from the instructions.

Courses Plus Student 13,077 PointsI am just so impressed by not only how fast you responded, but that you actually are changing the wording because of little o'le me. You guys are doing a great job and I thank you for it!

Courses Plus Student 13,077 PointsNever mind I took away the m from mURL and it worked.
I don't know why this worked cause i was told to declare a member variable not just a variable. But oh well if it works then it works right?
