mExterminateButton = ???
As the Task says, you need to initialize mExterminateButton with findViewBy(). You will need to pass an int id to findViewById() which you can get with R.id.your_id_here. Finally, remember to cast the generic View returned by findViewById() to the specific type you want, in this case a Button. Hope that gets you started.
