Sure, first make sure you get rid of:

public void isFullyCharged(){
    mBarsCount == MAX_BARS; 
}

Then, try this for your isFullyCharged method to return the count:

public boolean isFullyCharged(){
    return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
  }

Couple of things I see. First is you have two methods with the same name, one returns a boolean and the other doesn't return anything (void). I believe you are on the part of the exercise where you want to return the boolean, so get rid of the other method which has void.

Then you need to finish your boolean method of isFullyCharged because it's incomplete. Without giving you the full answer, use what you learned from PezDispenser.java in your workspace. See specifically the 'public boolean dispense()' method as a reference, as this will be very much like that.
