647 PointsAdd a Button inside this RelativeLayout. Don’t add any attributes yet.
Hi, I'm on the code challenge above and trying to add a button inside the relative layout in xml, but getting the error "Bummer! Don't forget your opening and closing Button tags (or combined as one empty tag). Make sure your Button element is inside the opening and closing tags for the RelativeLayout." My code is below, can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing?
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<button
android:id="@android:id/button1"/>
</RelativeLayout>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<button android:id="@android:id/button1"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Treehouse TeacherOne letter off! View elements in Android layout XML begin with capital letters. They are class names, essentially. :)
