13,808 PointsVariables for JSONObject
I am having a little trouble with this challenge. Using the example from the video as we have been building the weather app brought me to where I am now.
I am curious as to what I am doing wrong to cause a compile error.
// A JSONObject variable named 'jsonData'
// was loaded from the data.json file.
private CurrentDetails getCurrentDetails(String jsonData) {
JSONObject details = new JSONObject(jsonData);
String name = details.getString("name");
String publisher = details.getString("publisher");
String language = details.getString("language");
return CurrentDetails;
}

}

40,533 PointsYou only need to deal with setting the strings to the appropriate data (like you have done), you don't need to define a method.
In the context of this quiz, CurrentDetails does not exist and jsonData is already a JSONObject.
