Does not accept android:textColor = "#ffffffff" ; to change the text color. why?

bummer: looks like you don't have any "textColor", or something similar.

Hi Fabienne,

You have everything almost perfect. :thumbsup:
But if you have a look at the code above, you will see some highlighting or where the errors are. It's just a small one, but you have 2 semicolons that don't belong. XML does not end its lines with semicolons, so if you just delete those, all will pass.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
