Stuck on Challenge 2 of 4 in Build an interactive Story App. This is what I wrote but it doesn't work:

Challenge Task 2 of 4

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").

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/captionField"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:hint="Enter a caption" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_below="@+id/captionField"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:src="@drawable/grumpy_cat" />

</RelativeLayout>

My answer: android:layout_below="@+id/captionField"

but it doesn't work!

Can somebody give any insight?

Thank you

Hey, your code is quite right but your error is the + after @. it has to be like this
