Does anyone know what's wrong here?

Checked back a couple of times and it seems fine... anybody know what went wrong here?

MealActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

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 = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);

      mealLayout.setBackroundColor(Color.GREEN);




    }
}

Nate -

The function you should be using is setBackgroundColor, not setBackroundColor. ;-)

Easy to miss, happens to us all.

Keep at it and Happy Coding!
