Getters are getting me again....

Just having issues with these getters.

LandingActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LandingActivity extends Activity {

    public Button mThrustButton;
    public TextView mTypeLabel;
    public EditText mPassengersField;

    public Spaceship mSpaceship;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);

        mThrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
        mTypeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
        mPassengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);
        mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
        mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());
        mPassengersField.getInt(mNumPassengers.setInt().toString());
    }
}
Spaceship.java
public class Spaceship {
    private String mType;
    private int mNumPassengers = 0;

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }

    public int getNumPassengers() {
      return mNumPassengers;
    }

    public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
      mNumPassengers = numPassengers;
    }


    public Spaceship() {
      mType = "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public Spaceship(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

try getting rid of the call to getType when you are setting the text.

mPassengersField.getInt(mNumPassengers.setInt().toString());

this one has a mistake. Here is what you need to do: You need to put number of passengers in your spaceship in EditText called mPassengersField.

so to get number of passengers you need to use getter method of mSpaceship class

mSpaceship.getNumPassengers();

than you need to set text value of mPassengersField to mSpaceship.getNumPassengers(). Since NumPassengers is Integer, you need to add "" to it to make it String

mPassengersField.setText(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers()+"");

try this code ;)
