You don't have an opening quote before the word - Treehouse

Hi Michael - I think you might be missing a double quotation mark,

You had:

String android: text = Treehouse loves me!'

It need to read:

String android: text = "Treehouse loves me!"

its a little difference... but code really hates little differences!!

Hope that works!
