Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsHello, you can set a color of a property one of two ways:
By referring to a resource in an xml file
By directly giving the hex value of the color to the attribute
It looks like you were trying to combine both methods. In order to directly give the color, all you have to do is:
android:background="#fff092b0" >

Colors in Android can either be represented by a saved resource, or as a hex number. In this case, we want the hex number, which instead of @android:color/#fff092b0, you would want to just put in the hex number of #fff092b0

Courses Plus Student 3,527 PointsI hope you can help me with this. The Intel Virtualization Technology is not enabled, how do I enable it as this is the last step for me to download the HAXM. Oh yea before I forget, as I said before I can't find the application Android studio in my files where it was intended to be saved so do you have any idea how can I find it or what may have gone wrong? Thank you in advance.
