Everything looks great except for a couple of things, both in your getRemainingCharacterCount()
function.
-
.length
is a method, and therefore needs the () after the call. - you are referencing a variable
mText
which does not exist in this code. (Maybe you meantext
?)
Give is another go with those in mind.
Keep coding! :)

public static final int MAX_CHARS = 140;
public int getRemainingCharacterCount() { return MAX_CHARS - text.length(); }
