What is wrong with this HashMap?

Hello, I stuck. I really don't no what's wrong with my code. Compiler error. But where? 

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;

public class WebsiteListActivity extends ListActivity {

    public static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
    public static final String KEY_URL = "url";

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_website_list);

        String[] keys = { KEY_NAME, KEY_URL };
        int[] ids = { android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2 };

        HashMap<String, String> site1 = new Hashmap<String,String>();
        site1.put(KEY_NAME,"YT");
        site1.put(KEY_URL,"youtube.com");


        HashMap<String, String> site2 = new Hashmap<String,String>();
        site2.put(KEY_NAME,"FB");
        site2.put(KEY_URL,"facbook.com");
    }
}

Hi Patrick, check your spelling. "Hashmap" – it's "HashMap" with capital M

Hello! Marc-Oliver Gern is correct

HashMap<String, String> site1 = new Hashmap<String,String>(); //capitalize the M in map after new Hash(M)ap.
        site1.put(KEY_NAME,"YT");
        site1.put(KEY_URL,"youtube.com");
