Hi!
The code that I have typed out looks correct to me! I don't know if I am missing something really simple but to me it seems like it should work perfectly fine!
Can any of you see what the problem may be?
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();
mFuelLevel = intent.getStringExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);
}
}

When you are accessing the fuel level from your intent, you are calling "getStringExtra." As declared, your mFuelLevel variable is an "int". Try calling intent.getIntExtra instead.
