Let's continue to add color to MealActivity. In the onCreate() method, set the text color of foodLabel to Color.BLUE. 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);
}
}

If you haven't yet figured it out try this: foodLabel.setTextColor(Color.BLUE); drinkLabel.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
Happy coding!!

9,560 PointsHi Prosper,
food label is of type TextView which has methods for setting the text color. It can be done like so;
foodLabel.text.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
step1. we have stated the textView we want to target which is foodLabel step2. we have used .text method on foodLabel to say we would like to do something to the text. step3. we have used the .setTextColor to say we want to set the color of text. step4. we have passed in the Color.BLUE parameter as we need to let the method know what color to set it too.
Hope this helps a little and keep going !! :)
