what exactly do i have to do here?

Hello,

i dont think i quite understand the given task.

Shouldn't i put the value from the previous activity in mFuelLevel by using getStringExtra?

First, how can i do that when mFuelLevel is an int and secondly.... is that the only bug in my code?

Help...

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    mFuelLevel=intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");
    // Add your code below!

  }
}

The get extra method for integers is "getIntExtra".

The only other thing you need to add is a default value in case "FUEL_LEVEL" isn't found. This is supplied as the second argument to getIntExtra and for this challenge is expected to be -1.
