Hi Jessie,

I've sometimes found this too, when I've been unable to follow a course because I'm using the wrong layout structure.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it depends on what "activity" you choose when you start an activity. To get going, try choosing a blank activity for RelativeLayouts :)

Failing this you should be able to switch layouts by replacing the opening and closing XML Tags to the following

<RelativeLayout




</RelativeLayout>
