where is me going wrong?????

now we are ready to parcel in.In the constructor that takes a Parcel parameter,add code to set the member variable from the Parcel passed in.Remember,use the appropriate read methods based on types ,and order matters.

Parcel parcel = getParcel();

I don't 100% understand the question but normally

Parcel parcel =new Parcel(); //creates a new parcel unless Parcel is a singleton

however this looks like it is asking you to parse a Parcel to the constructor of another class so 

  public class Foo
  {
      private Parcel mParcel;
      public foo(Parcel parcel){
          this.mParcel=parcel
     }
   }

now you can call 

     Parcel parcel =new Parcel();
     Foo f= new Foo(parcel);

then do 

      f.parcel.send();

1) In the 1st task your code should be like that:

<p>
public VideoGame(Parcel in) {
        // Task 1 code here!
      mTitle = in.readString();
      mYear = in.readInt();
    }
</p>

2) Now it's time to work on the CREATOR variable. The first thing we need to do is return a new VideoGame in the createFromParcel() method. Make sure you use the source parameter!

<p>
 @Override
        public VideoGame createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
            // Task 2 code here!
            return new VideoGame(source);
        }
</p>

3) Finally, we need to update the length of the array returned in the Creator's 'newArray()' method. Use the size parameter passed in.

<p>
 @Override
        public VideoGame[] newArray(int size) {
            // Task 3 code here!
            return new VideoGame[size];
        }
</p>
