Hey there, your code was actually almost perfect, the only thing that you need to change is that you're defining the variable twice,

The following code will do just fine to pass the first challenge. 

SharedPreferences mSharedPreferences;

SharedPreferences.Editor editor;


mSharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

Thanks, shout back if this doesn't help.
