207 PointsI think this Question has a problem, Despite answering correctly, it still says "Bummer!" Or what is the correct answer?
The Challenge is this one ;
The current layout has black text on a white background. Let's change the text color to be white. You will need to add the android:textColor attribute, and copy/paste the Android white value from the RelativeLayout's android:background attribute.
After adding the line of code on <TextView, I get the "Bummer! Try Again" Message. Am I Wrong?
<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" /> (I Added This)
</RelativeLayout>

You nearly had the right answer but you added the android:textColor attribute outside the TextView XML element.
Move the android:textColor attribute into the TextView element so your code looks like this:
<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>

I think you might have to remove the @android part

207 PointsThank you for Answering but that did not work either.
I have gotten it, I had to to remove the "/>" on the previous line and add it at the end of the line i add so that it looks like this;
<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" />
