Have you declared the an intent already i.e. Intent intent = new Intent()

if so just change it to mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL" , -1);

if somewhere in the code an Intent is send, you have to retrieve it by the getIntent() method. 

            Intent intent  =  getIntent();

//Values were given with the intent, to retrieve and assign them as well, as said in the task.
//It's done as followed by the documentation by assigning a key and a 
//default value in the parenthesis

 So...
           // "A key name" 
          //followed by a "," followed by a default value. 
          //As requested with -1  */ 

          //It should look a little like this

           mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);

Hope this helps MUZ1407800 Doubt Milazi
