Treehouse TeacherHi there! The problem here is that you were only supposed to move things that have the same value to the <style>
. The hints in the beginning did not have the same value.
The hint under the nameField was:
android:hint="@string/hint_name"
And the hint under the cityField was:
android:hint="@string/hint_city"
As you can see, the values weren't the same so they should not have been moved to the styles.xml
. Try removing that part from the styles.xml and then put back these properties in the activity_main.xml
.
Hope this helps!
