The current layout has black text on a white background. Let's change the text color to be white. You will need to add the android:textColor attribute, and copy/paste the Android white value from the RelativeLayout's android:background attribute.
<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" />
</RelativeLayout>

231,072 PointsThis one is pretty much "paint by numbers". Just follow the instructions exactly:
- You will need to add the
android:textColor
attribute, - and copy/paste the Android white value from the RelativeLayout's
android:background
attribute.
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
