    <GridView

</RelativeLayout>"
ProductsActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.GridView;

// This parent class no longer applies. Switch it to Activity
public class ProductsActivity extends ListActivity {

    /*
     * Some code has been omitted for brevity!
     */

    // Declare mGridView here!

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

Hello,

You're very close here. You just have an extra " at the end of your xml. Delete it and you should be able to pass this first task. Refer to following comment in the code below to see where to remove the ".

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

    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/gridView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

</RelativeLayout>"   <!-- Remove the " on this line here -->
