5,574 PointsHi,
it looks like getBody() is outside of the BlogPost class. You need move the closing brace } that is currently above getBody() down to the end.

6,976 PointsYour method getBody() is declared outside of your class and is causing the break. Ensure it's within the BlogPost class like so:
package com.example;
import java.util.Date;
public class BlogPost {
private String mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mBody;
private String mCategory;
private Date mCreationDate;
public BlogPost (String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationdate){
mAuthor = author;
mTitle = title;
mBody = body;
mCategory = category;
mCreationDate = creationdate;
}
//This is now within the class
private String getBody() {
return mBody;
}
}
