You have to reference the style you just created to the Button element, like so:
<Button
android:id="@+id/sendButton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/send_button_label"
style="@style/TweetButton"/>
Good luck!

1,817 PointsWhat about on the styles section
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsStyles section is just fine.
Elvis Chitsungo
1,817 PointsI have tried again but in still getting
Bummer! Don't forget to add the 'style' element inside the 'resources' element.
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsOh, I've missed that, sorry.
The <style> tags have to be inside <resources>. They are currently outside of it. That should fix all your issues.
Elvis Chitsungo
1,817 Pointsso how can I make style be inside resource
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsMove the <style> tags between <resources> and </resources>, like so:
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!--Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.NoActionBar">
<!--Customize your theme here.-->
<item name="android:colorAccent">@android:color/darker_gray</item>
</style>
<style name="TweetButton">
<item name="android:layout_height">64dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">64dp</item>
<item name="android:background">?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</item>
</style>
</resources>

1,817 PointsI think the first 1 have been solved, im now getting this new problem
Bummer! Make sure you set the 'name' attribute to 'TweetButton'
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsCopy the code from my last answer again, I edited the mistake.
Elvis Chitsungo
1,817 Pointsim now having network challenge. Calin Bogdan thanks. I will continue tomorrow.

1,817 PointsIm now having this error:-
Bummer! Make sure you set the 'name' attribute to 'TweetButton'
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsOops! That's probably because I was using ':' instead of '=' on the layout xml file.
Make sure to change the following in the activity_main.xml file, at the Button element.
style:"@style/TweetButton" -> style="@style/TweetButton"
Elvis Chitsungo
1,817 PointsIt is giving the same error after correcting (style:"@style/TweetButton") to this (style="@style/TweetButton").
Calin Bogdan
14,921 PointsAre you sure you corrected it in styles.xml too?
</style name="TweetButton">
<item name="android:layout_height">64dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">64dp</item>
<item name="android:background">?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</item>
</style>
--->
<style name="TweetButton">
<item name="android:layout_height">64dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">64dp</item>
<item name="android:background">?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</item>
</style>
Elvis Chitsungo
1,817 PointsYes i have corrected it in styles.xml. im still getting the below message
Bummer! Make sure you set the 'name' attribute to 'TweetButton'.
