Problem with EditText

Hello everybody I am now beginning to tinker with Android, and I have a problem that is much more simple could not understand why this happening, so come to this problem: The thing is I'm trying to create a text field, but what happens is that I can not visualize it in the emulator and did not understand why because I think it has nothing wrong.

I will show you the code below:
main.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">" 

    <EditText
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/cptext"/>
</LinearLayout>

strings.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">HelloAndroid</string>
    <string name="cptexto">Digite o Texto</string>
</resources>

I hope you can help me. I await answers.

If that is code snapped directly from your code, you are either missing an "o" or having an unwanted "o" in the string resource named cptext(o)...

Also, I think

Code:

android:hint="@string/cptext"

should probably be

Code:

android:text="@string/cptext"
