Hello,

In your line

SharedPreferences mSharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

You are trying to declare a SharedPreferences object named mSharedPreferences when you already have it declared in your first line of the Challenge. So if you just say

mSharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

instead, everything should be fine.
