Change you button code to look like this:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default"
    android:text="Enlighten me!" 
    android:textSize="24sp"
    android:typeface="serif"
    android:textStyle="bold|italic"
    android:textColor="#3f0f7f" />
