Now add a String field (member variable) named mTitle. Make it public.

How to add a public String field

PictureBook.java 
public class PictureBook {
public String mTitle() {
return ();
}
}

I suggest re-watching the video if you don't know, a hint though: it's a field not a property.

public String mTitle;

With your code you just declared a function named mTitle with a return type of String, Instead you want to declare a member variable which is the same like declaring a variable: AccessModifier VariableType VariableName -> e.g. public String mTitle;
