I think I am adding the appropriate code into the activity_main.xml... but, I am not able to pass. Can you help?

Maybe I am not understanding the question correctly... I am adding the textcolor attribute in, but unable to pass. Thoughts?

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/white" >

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="Treehouse loves me!"
    android:textSize="72sp" />
    android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

</RelativeLayout>

Hi Adam,

You have the right idea, but there's a little syntax error. The code is closing the TextView tag twice:

android:textSize="72sp" />

should be

android:textSize="72sp"
