I am stuck on a step where it asks me to change the whole relative layout to dark pink and to use the code.

I am stuck trying to to set the whole relative layout to pink and I have tried just copying and pasting the code into the first relative layout and I also tried to add a background

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

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="Treehouse loves me!"
    android:textSize="72sp"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>

/<RelativeLayout android:background="@android:color/dark pink">
