No such instance field

Question

I'm trying to get my application to save some data when the orientation of the screen is changed using the onSaveInstanceState to save a boolean value mCheated.

I've set numerous break points and am getting an error for the mCheated boolean value in the variables view

mCheated= No such instance field: 'mCheated'

I have no idea why as I declare it with a value false when the activity is started and change it to true if a button is pressed. Can anyone help me out?

package com.bignerdranch.android.geoquiz;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

    public static final String EXTRA_ANSWER_IS_TRUE = "com.bignerdranch.android.geoquiz.answer_is_true";
    public static final String EXTRA_ANSWER_SHOWN = "com.bignerdranch.android.geoquiz.answer_shown";

    private static final String KEY_INDEX = "index";

    private boolean mAnswerIsTrue;

    private TextView mAnswerTextView;
    private Button mShowAnswer;

    private boolean mCheated = false;

    private void setAnswerShownResult(boolean isAnswerShown) {
        Intent data = new Intent();
        data.putExtra(EXTRA_ANSWER_SHOWN, isAnswerShown);
        setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
    }

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

        mAnswerIsTrue = getIntent().getBooleanExtra(EXTRA_ANSWER_IS_TRUE,false);

        if (savedInstanceState != null){
            mCheated = savedInstanceState.getBoolean(KEY_INDEX, mCheated);
        }
        setAnswerShownResult(mCheated);

        mAnswerTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.answerTextView);

                mCheated = true;
            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        //Log.i(TAG, "onSaveInstanceState");
        savedInstanceState.putBoolean(KEY_INDEX, mCheated);
    }
}

It turns out there wasn't a problem with the code and that Android Studio required a restart. I think it was down to the fact I had cloned the project and was possibly using an incorrect file from the previous version.
