I am really stuck in here, please help! Thanks!

GameAdapter.java
public class GameAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<GameAdapter.GameViewHolder> {

    private Game[] mGames;

    public GameAdapter(Game[] games) {
        mGames = games;
    }

    @Override
    public GameViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.game_list_item, parent, false);
        // Task 2
      GameViewHolder mHolder= new GameViewHolder(view);
        return mHolder;
    }

    @Override

You just need to do:

holder.bindGame(mGames[position]);

which this calls bindGame on the passed in holder parameter passing into it the Game object in the mGames array at the position given by the position parameter.

You just need to do:

holder.bindGame(mGames[position]);

Hello,

For this Task, your onBindViewHolder method is given two parameters, a GameViewHolder called holder, and an integer called position. If you look at the GameViewHolder class, it has a function called bindGame that takes in a game parameter. You want to call this function on the given GameViewHolder and pass it the Game object designated by the position integer that was passed in.

What should i change here? Game.bindGame(game, position);

Hello,

In the following code:

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(GameViewHolder holder, int position) {
        // Task 3
        GameViewHolder(mHolder, position);
    }

You need to change GameViewHolder(mHolder, position); You have holder being passed in, and there is the bindGame method for it, which you want to pass into it the element with the index of position of the mGames array.
