First you need to get the number of passengers for mSpaceship using the given method. It should look like this: mSpaceship.getNumPassengers(). This will be an integer so you have to convert it to a string using Integer.toString(). so final line should look like this:

      mPassengersField.setText(Integer.toString(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers()));

I just re-posted this from the same question you asked later on.

You will need to set the text for the TextView mTypeLabel using mSpaceship's getType method provided. Your answer should look like this.

mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());

ok thanks but i'm now stuck on Tast 3?

Finally, notice that our Spaceship class has a new field to store the number of passengers in the ship. Use the method to get the number of passengers for mSpaceship, and then set the text for mPassengersField to this value. Note: You will need to convert the int value to a String!

And do not know which video to look for please help?

mPassengersField.setText(mSpacship.mNumPassengers.getType().toString());

Thanks so much your a life saver as i have been stuck on this for 4 days now.
