Next, we want to position the ImageView directly below the EditText. We do this using the layout_below attribute. Add this new attribute to the ImageView and set it equal to the ID of the EditText (use "@id/captionField").
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/captionField"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:hint="Enter a caption" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:src="@drawable/grumpy_cat"
android:layout_below="@+id/captionField"/>
</RelativeLayout>
My answer to this challenge was the line: "android:layout_below="@+id/captionField"/>" and i get the message: Bummer! Make sure you are setting the new attribute to "@id/captionField"!

18,236 PointsNotice that you have an extra + in your answer. This + is only added after the @ when you're declaring a new ID in that namespace. To reference that ID you do not add a +: @id/captionField
and NOT @+id/captionField

7,806 PointsWhen you assign a new ID to an element using "android:id" you use the @+id but when you want to refer to an element in the layout you dont need to use @+id you use @id. @+id forces android to create a new numeric value for that element, though your code is likely to work in the IDE but on teamtreehouse you need to be specific and use @id instead (get used to this method)

1,047 PointsThank you Mazen. I copy-paste the id from the EditText and i didn't notice the "+".
