Hey! You have to rearrange your code a bit. It's almost right though! You don't have to write String, you just write the classname, Toast, and its name allDoneToast. After that you put an equal sign and there comes the Toast.makeText() method, instead of the message that you put there. Inside the parentheses you put this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG. The message in this case is "All done!". So it should look something like this:

Toast allDoneToast = Toast.makeText(this, "All done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

For the second challenge you display it using the show-method, which looks like this:

allDoneToast.show();

And for the final challenge, you combine these two lines and make it into one:

Toast.makeText(this, "Whatever message you want to put here.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

So the only thing wrong with your code, if it's the last challenge you're stuck with, is that you put allDoneToast instead of the message.

Good luck!
