Let's continue to add color to MealActivity. In the onCreate() method, set the text color of foodLabel to Color.BLUE. Then set the text color of drinkLabel to Color.GRAY.
public class MealActivity extends Activity {
public TextView foodLabel;
public TextView drinkLabel;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);
foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);
mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
foodLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
drinkLabel.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
}
}

foodLabel.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
instead of this
foodLabel.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
