Add a Button inside this RelativeLayout. Don’t add any attributes yet.

What am I doing wrong, I keep getting an error

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

  <ListView 
  android:id="@android:id/list">        
  </ListView>

  <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty"   />

</RelativeLayout>

Hi Emeka, can you paste in the code you've tried so far? You need to add a Button element like the TextView element that's shown, except your Button won't have any attributes (android:id="@android:id/empty" is the attribute for the TextView).
