XML is used to define the screen layouts and menus etc within all Android apps.

In this challenge, you need to modify the android:text property from what it says at the beginning of the challenge to what the questions asks. The finished code would look like the follow, after only one line is amended:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <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="16sp" />

</RelativeLayout>

I hope that helps.

Steve.
