14,211 Pointsmatch_parent and fill_parent help.
Started to learn android dev and not far in I'm stuck on one of the code challenges:
Change the width of this TextView to fill the entire area available from its parent (hint: use match_parent or fill_parent).
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView android:id="@+id/treehouseLabel" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:text="Treehouse loves me!" />
</RelativeLayout>
I put fill_parent in the TextView for the width but I'm thinking I have to add some dp or something.
Any help would be much appreciated.
