any body know how to do it?

change the text color of foodLabel to Color.BLUE and then set the text color of drinkLabel to Color.GRAY.

MealActivity.java 
public class MealActivity extends Activity {

    public TextView foodLabel;
    public TextView drinkLabel;

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

        foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodText View);
        drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
        RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);
        mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
    }
}
