Two things:

1) do not name the argument in the nextInt method. Just pass an integer, without naming it n:.

2) 9 as an argument will select numbers from 0 to 8 (9 different integers). You want numbers between 0 and 9 (10 different integers).

You should consider doing the Java course on Treehouse and then get back to Android development - Android deveolpment in these courses here heavily relies on knowledge of programming principles in Java.
