public class MealActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);

    TextView foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
    TextView drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
    RelativeLayout mealLayout =.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);

}

Hi Logan,

If you are still having trouble, here is the correct format. Firstly, you needn't change any code pre-made in this challenge; you are just adding code beneath the mealLayout.

mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
