Hi Rodrigo

In your code you have typed in the line

android:background=""

twice remove the line which doesn't apply (the holo_dark_orange) and change the color to @android:color/white you should be set!

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/sendButton"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/send_button_label"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:background="@android:color/white" />

</LinearLayout>

Hope this helps

Daniel
