Can anyone tell me what on earth I'm doing wrong please?
Code is attached.
Error I get is as the title shows on the intent.addExtra(... line.
I have tried intent.addExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", fuelLevel)
I have also tried intent.addExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", 0)
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class LaunchActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public Button launchButton;
public int fuelLevel;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch);
// fuelLevel is set elsewhere.
// Code ommitted for brevity!
launchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
launchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Add your code in here!
Intent intent = new Intent(LaunchActivity.this, FlightActivity.class);
intent.addExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", 0);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}

To add extended data to the intent you should use putExtra.
Try using intent.putExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", 0);

Treehouse TeacherI thought I added a test looking for "addExtra()" because that is definitely a common mistake! Glad you got some help here.
