Creating a Gradient Drawable challenge

Hello, i'm doing the Creating a Gradient Drawable challenge and i'm getting this message: "Bummer! Make sure you add a 'gradient' element as a child of the 'shape' element! Get Help"

I have no reason why.

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

You are missing a closing double quotes on the first line:

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