In Android track, the Interactive Story nameEditText has stopped displaying "Enter Your Name to Begin"?

I was building this app with no problems. Then after I added the storyImageView, storyTextView, and two choiceButtons

tothe activity_story.xml( which all display as shown by the instructor Ben), now when I start the app, the "Enter your name to begin" hint does not display on the emulator (it did before)Here is the activity_main.xml file:

RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"

tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:background="@android:color/white">

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/titleImageView"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:src="@drawable/main_title"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:contentDescription="Signals from Mars"/>

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="START YOUR ADVENTURE"
    android:id="@+id/startButton"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:textColor="#FF3A8AEC"/>

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textPersonName"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/nameEditText"
    android:layout_above="@+id/startButton"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:hint="Enter your name to begin"
    android:maxLength="30" />

</RelativeLayout>

Thanks.
