Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsThanks for adding the instructions.
The line you added should be "textColor" not "textcolor"

890 PointsThe question that i was instructed to solve is as follows:
The current layout has black text on a white background. Let's change the text color to be white. You will need to add the android:textColor attribute, and copy/paste the Android white value from the RelativeLayout's android:background attribute.
So where did i go wrong?
