2,303 PointsString Constructor challenge
The instructions say: The LandingActivity interacts with the Spaceship model object we created. Start by setting mSpaceship to a new Spaceship object in the onCreate() method. Use the custom constructor that takes a String parameter, and pass in "FIREFLY" as the parameter.
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. Obviously what i tried hasnt been working.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class LandingActivity extends Activity {
public Button mThrustButton;
public TextView mTypeLabel;
public EditText mPassengersField;
public Spaceship mSpaceship;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);
mThrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
mTypeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
mPassengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);
Spaceship mSpaceship= new Spaceship();
}
}
public class Spaceship {
private String mType;
private int mNumPassengers = 0;
public String getType() {
return mType;
}
public void setType(String type) {
mType = type;
}
public int getNumPassengers() {
return mNumPassengers;
}
public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
mNumPassengers = numPassengers;
}
public Spaceship() {
mType = "SHUTTLE";
}
public Spaceship(String type) {
mType = type;
}
}

44,638 PointsYou're 95 percent done, just set the new spaceship you passed into mSpaceship to FIREFLY. It looks like this:
Spaceship mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");

Courses Plus Student 321 PointsNicolas the mSpaceship was already declare so the code wil be:
mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");

8,772 Pointsspaceship = new Spaceship ("FIREFLY"); it worked out for me. this part of the question actually tells you what to do: Start by setting spaceship to a new Spaceship object in the onCreate() method
