            android:gravity="right"  />

        <TextView

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text=""
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            />

</RelativeLayout>

Ricky;

Correct idea, incorrect TextViews. The challenge is asking to set the Gravity property on the TextView properties inside the LinearLayout only.
