Hello,

What this Challenge is asking is for you to use the gravity on each of the TextViews that are contained within the LinearLayout. Currently, you are trying to change the parameters of the LinearLayout. The link provided in the Challenge is well worth the read on the various values the gravity parameter can take. I hope this helps you get onto the right path. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
