735 PointsHey,
Yes I saw that and actually commented on that afterwards thanks. But I still cannot get past that one, I manually moved on and all fine, but still cannot get past this one. I tried again now and still no luck?

Here is the code again, dont understand what the issue is?

735 PointsI dont get it? Why would the code suddenly change from what I know it should be, are there different code to do the same thing?? Or at least, why does the test do it that way?

Courses Plus Student 30,936 PointsThe prefix of the color "@android:color/" that's mean to pick color from android color library. Try to open Android studio and then change the backgroud color from "Design" view, you will see at the top of the dialog three tabs.
1) Project : Colors that you have been initialized in /res/values
2) System : Colors from Android library and have a prefix of @android:color/
3) Color : Custom Color to pick.

Courses Plus Student 30,936 PointsHi Eugene,
The hex value in Android studio combined with 8 characters from 1-F.
First two Characters is the transparency, and the 6 other characters is normal hex color.
Examples:
1) Red = #ffff0000.
2) Green = #ff00ff00.
3) Blue = #ff0000ff.
