layout below

I can not move from this exercise. I followed the directions and compared with examples and do not see the error. the problem is in the second part where you have to add the layout_below

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

  <EditText
        android:id="@+id/holaEditText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:hint="Enter Your Name" />

 <ImageView

        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/holaEditText"
        android:src="@drawable/grumpy_cat" />

</RelativeLayout>

Two things:

  1. Don't forget you have to instances of the text showing up in your code, you need to change both.
  2. Don't forget that you also need to clear that plus sign "@+id" to "@id" to be according to the challenge guidelines.

Hope it helps.

The challenge mentions mentions that id should be named: @id/captionField, so refactor your @+id/holaEditText and it will parse properly.
