Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) Intents and Multiple Activities Getting Data from an Intent

stage 2 challenge 2

Now set mFuelLevel the the value from the Intent. Check the Intent documentation if you need help finding the correct method to use. Use "FUEL_LEVEL" as the key and -1 as the default value.

FlightActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    // Add your code below!
    Intent intent=getIntent();
    String nFuelLevel=intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL",-1);

  }
}

Use this:

    mFuelLevel=intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL",-1);

You have to parse an intiger value not a string.

In your case: you created a new string variable only accessible in this function - protected void. You have to put in your public in mFuelLeveL -> you are changing that

thanks it worked ....so l was not supposed to start with String ok ok thanks

Glad to help.

I'm sorry but I also made a mistake that I corrected as fast as I could - I hope you saw the difference.

Originally I posted nFuelLevel -> but you should change the mFuelLevel that is publicly declared.
