Ch 1: GeoQuiz Page 16

Android Programming (3rd Edition)
1

I did everything exactly as the book states and my preview of the app does not match what is on page 16. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong but below is my code:

activity_quiz.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="24dp"
    android:text="@string/question_text"/>

<linearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/false_button" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/true_button"/>

</linearLayout>

Then my strings.xml file is:

GeoQuiz
Camberra is the capital of Australia.
True
False

I also attached a screenshot of what my preview looks like as you can see it is not matching page 16’s preview. What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind I figured it out. I had a my second LinearLayout lowercase instead of upercase.
