Do you need to include @android:
before your color:
android:textSize="72sp" /> // <- move this closing tag
android:textColor="@android:color/white" /> // <- to here
Also, you have closed the xml tag in the line above - delete the closing tag and move it to the line below. I've commented in the code.
Steve.
