why is it not "notifyDataSetChanged()"

what is the answer?

MainActivity.java 
// This is an excerpt from the full file.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && responseCode == RESULT_OK) {

        // YOUR CODE HERE
      notifyDataSetChanged();

    }
}

Hi Page,

You'll want to make sure that the notifyDataSetChanged() method is called on the ListingsAdapter instance (which the challenge has named 'adapter'), so that the data changed notification is specifically applied to that adapter.

      adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Hope this helps!
