Inside the onCreate() method, declare an ArrayAdapter named adapter and initialize it with its constructor. Remember that ArrayAdapter is a generic, meaning that the type of the items in the array needs to be specified in angle brackets. The constructor takes three parameters: 1) the context (use this), 2) the layout (use android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1) and 3) the array to adapt (use mApps).
String[] mApps = {"Instagram", "Pinterest", "Pocket", "Twitter" };
ArrayAdapter<String> adopter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mApps);
setListAdapter(adopter);

with your new code - not under the array declaration:
public class AppListActivity extends ListActivity {
public String[] mApps = {
"Instagram",
"Pinterest",
"Pocket",
"Twitter"
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_app_list);
// YOUR CODE HERE
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mApps);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
}
