10,314 PointsCan someone help me with challenges for SharedPreferences?
I got through challenge 1 but not I can't get through challenge 2. I'm following along with the video, but I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Challenge 2: Now declare a SharedPreferences field named mSharedPreferences and an Editor field named mEditor. Then initialize both of these fields in the onCreate method.

It should be
private SharedPreferences.Editor mEditor;
instead of just
private Editor mEditor;
Secondly your forgetting to put some things inside your getSharedPreferences("code should be in here")
mSharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_FILE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Do you remember that? And then we initialize the mEditor variable by calling edit() on our mSharedPreferences
mEditor = mSharedPreferences.edit();
