Android Build an Interactive Story App (Retired) Intents and Multiple Activities Getting Data from an Intent

I need to set mFuelLevel to the value from the Intent, using "FUEL_LEVEL” as the key and -1 as the default value

Could someone please help me through this, with explanation?

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    // I need to add the code here

  }
}

I solved it with:

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    int mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra("FUEL_LEVEL", -1);
