6,452 PointsNow that we have a model object, update the TextView to use the Spaceship's shipType property.
Could someone please let me know where I am going wrong, it's that time again where four hours of non stop treehouse has fried my brain.
Thanks

this is wrong , you need firstly to retrieve the View by using R.id. and then the id of the TextView.
after you do that , you need to call the setText() method which takes an id or a String
