Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsHi Mike,
You are indeed close. It should be:
mealLayout.setBackGroundColor(Color.GREEN);
In the previous line you called your RelativeLayout "mealLayout". So when you want to do stuff to that RelativeLayout, you refer to its name "mealLayout"
I hope this helps.

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsI should have been a little more careful.
It is setBack*groundColor, not setBackG*roundColor.
