mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());
mPassengersField.setText(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers() + "");

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsA simple way of changing an int to a String is to add "" to the int.
String numAsString = mSpaceship.getNumPassengers() + "";

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsYou could use your method of converting an int to a String, but you need to add '()' to the end of "getNumPassengers" since that's how you call a method, as opposed to attempting to access a public field directly.
String num = Integer.toString(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers());

3,081 PointsIt not working yet. The question is : Finally, notice that our Spaceship class has a new field to store the number of passengers in the ship. Use the method to get the number of passengers for mSpaceship, and then set the text for mPassengersField to this value. Note: You will need to convert the int value to a String!
i tried to:
// Add your code here! mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY"); mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType()); //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mPassengersField.setText(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers() + "" );
Not working.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mPassengersField.setText(Integer.toString(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers()));
Not working
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mPassengersField.setText(String.valueOf(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers()));
and not working.... i do not what is!...
thank you for help me.

3,081 PointsJon, thanks a lot, but the compiler is still saying is wrong.

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsHmm, that is odd since it marked mine as correct a couple of minutes ago.
Could you repost the entirety of your code again with the modification and the error, if it gives one.
