It looks like you have posted the original code. If you submit this you receive: Bummer: Don't forget to add android:padding="16dp" to the RelativeLayout!

This should be a big hint as to what you have to do.

The following are in the relative layout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff092b0">

so you can just add to the end

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff092b0"
android:padding="16dp">
