What's wrong?

whenever I check this work it says Bummer! Don't forget to add the button! What's wrong?

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

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

</RelativeLayout>

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

your button element needs to go INSIDE the relative layout opening and closing tags, just like the TextView:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

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

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

</RelativeLayout>
