Its not working. I copied and pasted the code several times, I even wrote it in. It wont work. I coped and pasted it into relative layout background color

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/#fff0952b0" >

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"

For the background color try android:background="#fff0952b0" instead of android:background="@android:color/#fff0952b0"
