Hola,

Yeah moosh them together lol. Remember, you can convert an Integer to a string by using contatenate if I spelled that right lol. Like this

WRONG - the top of the code already defines Random. 
Random randomGenerator;  //no need to clarify again in your next statement. Just remove the Random from it like below.

randomGenerator=new Random(); 
int randomNumber=randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

THIS
String intAsString = randomNumber + "";

NOT
(!intAsString=(Integer.toString(randomNumber))){

toString is more of a print method override collections or obtaining values from Scanner or whatever lots of stuff. I would convert a string to integer by either Integer.parse or by mooshing them together. Mooshing them is top choice when working in android.

That code should get you all the way through when fixed to look like the example above, let me know if you have any issues or if this worked for you.

Thanks
