// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json
JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) {
JSONObject show = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
Log.i("CodeChallenge", show.getString("title"));
}

28,738 PointsHello,
You need to make the first parameter of Log.i() into the string "CodeChallenge" and not the undefined variable CodeChallenge. Also, I'd recommend that you take a look at the spelling of CodeChallenge.

JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");
String CodeChallenge;
for (int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) {
JSONObject show = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
CodeChallenge = show.getString("title");
Log.i(TAG, CodeChallenge);
}
