In the layout below we have one button. Add an attribute to set its background to #ffaa0000.

im not sure what to do from here

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

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/thrustButton"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:text="@string/thrust_label" />

</RelativeLayout>

I figured out how to change my profile image on my iPad so I cose a new villan, I don't think this is offensive unless there are any rebels nearby. Also I wasn't the one who wrte the sarcastic comments some other kids hacked me because I didn't sign out. Sorry.

Adding android:background="#ffaa0000" to your button element will change the background color.

Hi Jacob,

Can I refer you to the following clause regarding the acceptable use of this website:

When using this Website, you must not do any of the following: publish, post, distribute or disseminate any defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent, offensive or unlawful material or information;

That is just one obvious one to pick out.

Can you change your profile picture, please. It is offensive to a reasonable person. It is most likely unlawful in many jurisdictions too. Either way, it is just easier if you could change the picture. This website is not a political forum for any views, however mainstream or extreme.

Thanks,

Steve.

Thank you Jacob. Please change it to something non-inflammatory, eh.

I'll let the Treehouse guys know once you've done that.

Cheers,

Steve.
