Hi Matijs,

It looks like you created a method called mTitle. The question is asking you to declare a member variable (that is a String) called mTitle.

To do so looks like this:

public String mTitle;

I hope this helps, if not please let me know.

Hey,

You are so close. When defining a variable. You do not use (). Remove those from the mTitle and don't forget to end the statement with a semicolon. mTitle;

Really the only time you use {} those type of brackets for creating classes and methods. You already have a class called PictureBook and there is no inner class in this example. Take a look at the example below.

That's how it should look. Class with one member variable. 

public class PictureBook {
  public String mTitle;


}

Let me know if that solves your problem or if I can help more.

Make sure you are declaring a member variable in the class named 'title'.

thats the error I keep getting even after i have declared the member variable
