Now add the attribute to change the color of the button text to white. Use the system value or the appropriate hex color

not getting

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

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/thrustButton"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"

Looks like you have a space between the android: and textColor. Mash 'em together, like android:textColor

There is an extra space between android: and textColor. It should be android:textColor.
