639 PointsStuck on Intent question
I am suck on this part where I have to declare an intent and get the intent that started the activity. No matter what I try I keep getting syntax errors. This is what I wrote in the editor:
I guess I am not fully understanding what is being asked of me in the question. Any help would be appreciated.
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 name = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL");
}
}

56,413 PointsIt's asking you to retrieve the fuel level from the intent which is an int in this case, not a String. Because it's stored as an int in the Intent, you'll need to use a different method than you would a String (getIntExtra).
