What is the name of the activity variable that I am meant to use?!

The question is in the title.

CodeChallenge.java 
String textToShare = "Learn something new at www.teamtreehouse.com";

// YOUR CODE HERE
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textToShare);

mActivity.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share"), 1);

Hey Binyamin Everything looks pretty good man. The step four isn't asking for a specific activity to start it's asking you to start the intent so you don't need the mActivity portion. On your second call on that line you're not looking for a result from the activity so that should be changed and when you change that you won't need the int. You're close though man keep going.
