Android Build an Interactive Story App Finishing the User Interface Using a Model in the Presenter

Now that we have a model object, 2 of 3

Now that we have a model object, update the TextView to use the Spaceship's shipType property. Remember to use the helpful getter method!

I'm not understanding. I have used previous answers to this question but it seems as if my code challenge started without the "m" in front of all of my fields.

LandingActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LandingActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public Button thrustButton;
    public TextView typeLabel;
    public EditText passengersField;

    public Spaceship spaceship;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);

        thrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
        typeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
        passengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);

        // Add your code here!
        spaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
        typeLabel.setText(spaceship.getType());

    }
}
Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    private String shipType;
    private int numPassengers = 0;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }

    public int getNumPassengers() {
      return numPassengers;
    }

    public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
      this.numPassengers = numPassengers;
    }

    public Spaceship() {
      shipType = "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public Spaceship(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }
}

If you looked at Spaceship.Java blueprint you are going to find shiptype getter method called getShipType().

So it should be typeLabel.setText(spaceship.getShipType());
