How to change the text attribute?

I need to change the text attribute on my code

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <TextView
    android:id="TextView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="I love Treehouse!"
    android:textSize="16sp" />

</RelativeLayout>

Yep - so you take the line:

android:text="I love Treehouse!"

And change it to:

android:text="Treehouse loves me!"

I hope that makes sense!

Steve.

Yeah, I had to look up the definitions of a few words here, afterwards, it was fairly simple. Thanks Steve and pardon the late response. I've been engrossed in programming the last few weeks.
