Set the top margin of the EditText to be "0dp".
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

57,712 PointsSo, on task 2 we are asked to Next, we want to position the EditText directly below the ImageView. We do this by constraining its top to the bottom of the ImageView. Set the top margin of the EditText to be "0dp".
The EditText
code starts out like this:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/captionField"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Enter a caption"
android:layout_marginTop=""
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />
This has a blank placeholder where we need to enter 0dp
. Adding that gives us this:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/captionField"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Enter a caption"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />
This passes the task. I'll see if there's something else in your code that's causing the issue - but you don't need two marginTop
attributes.

57,712 PointsHi there,
You have an extra line in there. Remove:
android:layout_marginTop="True"
as the line below sets the margin to 0dp
.

4,638 Pointshey Steve, it is still saying "Bummer! Make sure you are setting the correct attribute in the EditText "0dp"!" after removing the line you instructed me to get rid off
