It talks about overriding oncreate method. We cant do this in TwitterService class and in MainAcitivty there is already one. Challenge was this: Let's switch to updating our Twitter app from within a Service. Start by creating a new TwitterThread field, and starting it in the 'onCreate' method. You'll need to override the 'onCreate' method.
public class TwitterService extends Service {
TwitterClient twitterClient = new TwitterClient();
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
TwitterHandler twitterHandler;
@Override
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
twitterHandler = new TwitterHandler();
Looper.loop();
}
}
class TwitterHandler extends Handler {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
twitterClient.update();
}
}
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TwitterThread twitterThread = new TwitterThread();
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
}
});
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHey Sena!
Services DO have onCreate methods, and you can override it like this:
Hope that helps!
