Cant find where Iam going wrong on this

Now add a <gradient> element as a child of the <shape>. Set startColor to #102372 and endColor to #ffffff. Don't forget the android prefix on the attributes!

bg_gradient.xml 
< shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape = "rectangle">
       < gradient 
                 android:startColor = "#102372"
                 android:endColor = "#ffffff"/>
</shape>

Hi Caroline,

My challenge passes with this code - I don't define the "rectangle":

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <gradient android:startColor="#102372" android:endColor="#ffffff" />
</shape>

Steve.
