why isn't this correct? Call call = client.newCall(request);

It says to create a Call variable, although Call call is an object from what I know.

MovieActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import java.io.IOException;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

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

        // Get some movie information!
        String apiUrl = "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?apikey=xyz&q=hobbit";
        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(apiUrl)
                .build();
      Call call = newCall(request);
    }

}

apparently this works, but not in a single line. Call call; call = client.newCall(request);

Space the new keyword and object instantiation as so:

Call call = new Call(request);
