Now let's change the background color of the whole RelativeLayout to a dark pink. Use the code #fff092b0.

Correct me please

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/white" #fff092b0 >


  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="Treehouse loves me!"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:textSize="72sp" />

</RelativeLayout>

Hi there, Sezare Freta Miguel ! Looks like you're off to a solid start and made it past the first step! In the second step, you are meant to replace entirely the "@android:color/white" with "#ff092b0". Instead, you have tacked it onto the end there, and that's not going to work. The value needs to be a string.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
