Now position this new ImageView above the TextView. Check the documentation for help on which attribute to use.

Cant Get this question at all

activity_movie.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" >

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/movieTitle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="32sp"
    android:text=""
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

  <ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>

Hi there,

The challenge is asking for us to find the right attribute from the list of attributes on the documentation page it links to. The first attribute on the list ends up being the one we're looking for, thankfully:

"android:layout_above Positions the bottom edge of this view above the given anchor view ID."

To add a declaration for this attribute to our code:

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/movieImage"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@id/movieTitle"/>

movieTitle is the id of the TextView. We have effectively positioned the ImageView above the movieTitle TextView by adding that new last line of ImageView code.

Hope this helps.
