1,671 PointsThere is a bug here: return new VideoGame(source); //doesn't work
Can't go through the question
public class VideoGame implements Parcelable {
public String mTitle = "";
public int mYear = 0;
public VideoGame() {
// intentionally blank
}
// getters and setters omitted for brevity!
@Override
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
dest.writeString(mTitle);
dest.writeInt(mYear);
}
public VideoGame(Parcel in) {
in.readString();
in.readInt();
// Task 1 code here!
}
public static final Creator<VideoGame> CREATOR = new Creator<VideoGame>() {
@Override
public VideoGame createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
return new VideoGame(source);
}
@Override
public VideoGame[] newArray(int size) {
// Task 3 code here!
return new VideoGame[0];
}
};
}

@Override
public VideoGame[] newArray(int size) {
// Task 3 code here!
return new VideoGame[0];
}

1,671 PointsI'm not even at Task 3 yet. Task 2 code is not passing through the compiler.

You read both the parcel values (in order I might add, nice work) but you forgot to store them into mTitle and mYear. Also, in task three, as he's shown, use the value passed into newArray to set the VideoGame array size.

1,671 PointsThanks Nicolas and Abdullah, I do everything as you say, but the compiler still complains at TASK 2. I think there is a bug in a video course test. That is all I wanted to say. It works great for me on my computer.
