Hi Harshil,

The first part of this challenge asks, In the layout file below, align the EditText to the top of its parent (the RelativeLayout)

So, you need to add a line inside the EditText group that says:

layout.xml 
<EditText 
  .
  .
  android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
  . />

Make sense?

Steve.
