Please include a link to the challenge, so we can see what you need to do. You can do that very easily by just clicking the Get Help button as Treehouse then includes the link automatically. If you scroll down in a video you will see it in the lower right. For challenges it's in the upper right.

If you need more detail Ben goes through carefully in the video just before the challenge. 

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_treehouse);
    Log.d(TAG, "Activity created!");
  }

As you can see here, the d() method has two parameters, TAG and "Activity created!".

You were asked to make "TreehouseActivity" the first parameter. But rather than using the String itself, the challenge asked you to use the TAG constant instead, as declared and initialized in this line:

public static final String TAG = "TreehouseActivity";
