Switch to the file activity_main.xml. Use the new style you just created for the Button

Please help with the last part of the question.

styles.xml 
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <style name = "RibbitButton">
      <item name ="android:textColor">#0000ff</item>

</resources>
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/RibbitButton"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/send_button_label" 





</RelativeLayout>

Hi there,

You set the style using the style keyword and linking to the name defined in the xml file:

style="@style/RibbitButton"

Hope that works!

Steve.
