Android Android Lists and Adapters (2015) Standard ListViews Creating a Gradient Drawable

my code not passing

Finally, specify the 'type' as linear and set the 'angle' to 135. This gives an angled gradient from the lower right corner to the top left.

bg_gradient.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

      <gradient
                 android:startColor="#102372"
                 android:endColor="#ffffff"/>
 </shape>

Now that you've gotten this far, it's almost too simple. Kinda flew by my head too. 'Type' and 'angle' are attributes declared EXACTLY like all the others, like start and end colors. Do exactly what you did for those and you should be fine.

you can mark it as best answer if it helped...

This will pass

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

  <gradient
             android:startColor="#102372"
             android:endColor="#ffffff"
              android:type="linear"
              android:angle="135"/>
