For some reason it looks like you've deleted part of the challenge code
val mealLayout = findViewById(R.id.mealLayout) as RelativeLayout
So either tack that back in or restart the challenge to get it back. Moving on, the relative layout is the mealLayout
, so just set the background on that after you add it back in.
mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN)
Best of luck, and happy coding,
Dave
