The code below sets an EditText variable from the layout of an Activity. Set the petName variable to the value from this EditText.
EditText petNameField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.petNameField);
String petName;

Then, because you want it as a string, you want to chain the .getString() method onto the previous method.
If you get into trouble again, do check the video again, there is no harm in skipping through it! It's very clear as to how it works on the video :)
