Dynamically changing background color Android Java

Goal is to change the background color of mealLayout.

import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TextView;

public class MealActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);

    TextView foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
    TextView drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
    RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);

    mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

}

import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

        //Move your declarations here if you intend on using them after the onCreate() method
    private TextView foodLabel;
    private TextView drinkLabel;
    private RelativeLayout mealLayout;

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.food);
        drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drink);
        mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);

                //We change the color to RED for the first time as the program loads
                mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);


        //Create the timer object which will run the desired operation on a schedule or at a given time

        MyTimer mt = new MyTimer();

                //We schedule the timer task to run after 1000 ms and continue to run every 1000 ms.
        timer.schedule(mt, 1000, 1000);
    }

        //An inner class which is an implementation of the TImerTask interface to be used by the Timer.
    class MyTimer extends TimerTask {

        public void run() {

                    Random rand = new Random();
                                        //The random generator creates values between [0,256) for use as RGB values used below to create a random color
                                        //We call the RelativeLayout object and we change the color.  The first parameter in argb() is the alpha.
                    mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, rand.nextInt(256), rand.nextInt(256), rand.nextInt(256) ));
                }
            });
        }
