Hello,

This challenge is just asking you to create a single button in addition to the TextView that is already in place. You want to leave all of the given xml the same and add to the middle of it.

<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>

Is the base that it starts you with. From this point, you want to copy all of the TextView tag and paste in a copy after the first one. At which point, you can just change the second TextView, and only the second TextView, to be a Button, and you should be done.
