You code is good, but I don't know why this line

private String mText;

that was originally provided by the code challenge is gone now? You need to keep the the line, don't delete it.

public class Tweet {
  private String mText;
  public static final int MAX_VALUE = 140;

  public Tweet(String text) {
    mText = text;
  }

  public String getText() {
    return mText;
  }

}
