What is the line of code supposed to be doing? There are a number of syntactic errors here. Can you spot them? (some hints: how do you end a statement in Java? How do you call an object's method? How do you declare a variable of the type Intent?)
The first task is to declare an Intent variable and getting the Intent that was used to start this activity. Recall that you can get the Intent used to start the activity with the method getIntent() which returns the Intent used to start the activity.
We can initialize the variable and assign the Intent used to start the activity in one line:
Intent intentVariable = getIntent();
The next step of the challenge is to assign the mFuelLevel variable the right value from the our Intent object which we previously called 'intentVariable'. Since mFuelLevel is an int, we want to use the getIntExtra() method, using the key from the instructions and the default value, and assign it to mFuelLevel. You can google to find information about various types of getExtra and putExtra methods for Intents.
mFuelLevel = intentVariable.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);
