The challenge is asking you to set the android:textColor attribute to white, which will be the same value as the current android:backgroundColor for the layout. The challenge even suggests you copy that value to use.

First of all you are miss placing your the code , it's after the closing tag for textview try 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="#84ffffff" />

</RelativeLayout>
