Challenge Task 1 of 1

Now we want to change the gravity for the contents of each TextView in the LinearLayout. Set the gravity of the first one to align to the left side and set the second one to align to the right side. Use the documentation for help on which value to use.

First textview

android:gravity="left" android:layout_weight="1"

Second textview

android:gravity="right" android:layout_weight="1"

Hello,

Currently, you are setting the gravity on both of the TextViews to be center_horizontal when the challenge is asking for the first one to be to the left and the second one to be to the right.

THANKS FOR THE HELP
