Courses Plus Student 573 Pointsgetting error?
question is , add color to MealActivity. In the onCreate() method, set the text color of foodLabel to Color.BLUE and then set the text color of drinkLabel to Color.GRAY.?
public class MealActivity extends Activity {
public TextView foodLabel;
public TextView drinkLabel;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);
foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);
mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
foodLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
drinlLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREY);
}
}

Looks like you've got a typo here:
drinlLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREY);
^
which should be:
drinkLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREY);
Hope it helps and, if you have any more problems, give me a shout :)

14,780 PointsHey again Vishnu!
I've noticed that you're setting the background color rather than the text color.
Once you use the right method, the code should pass.
If you have any problems finding what method to use, give me a shout and I'll give you a hint :)

Courses Plus Student 573 Pointscan use this code for textcolor....... foodLabel.setTextColor(Color.BLUE); drinklLabel.setTextColor(Color.GREY);
Harry James
14,780 PointsYep! That's correct.
But make sure you fix drinkLabel (You've got two l's, one lower-case and one uppercase)!
