Hi Jack,

This Challenge tells you in the wording what to use - it's either getName() or getSimpleName(). In this case, it's also stated that you just want the class name without the package name. So even without knowing the methods too well, it's hinting that you'd want the one that includes less information, which would be the Simple method. Otherwise, you seem to be doing well though, because you've passed the Challenge up to this point!

package com.teamtreehouse;

public class TreehouseActivity extends Activity {

  public static final String TAG = TreehouseActivity.class.getSimpleName();

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_treehouse);
    Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!");
  }
}
