Unable to pass task 2 with #fff092b0

I'm having trouble completing the second task and my answer is this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/#fff092b0" >

It tells me: "Use the color code exactly as in the instructions. Copy/paste, if need be."

However that is the exact same code they want. Is this answer somehow not functioning?

Hi Tony,

You just need to plug the hex code in, rather than using the android:color piece:

android:background="#fff092b0"

I hope that helps,

Steve.
