1,890 PointsChallenge activity error help me!
Hey! I don't understand why its given an error? Question: Now switch back to CodeChallenge.java. Set the buttonLabel variable to the new String resource you just added using the getString(int id) method. Don't forget: the id parameter will begin with R.string
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = "";
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");
Resources resources=getResources();
buttonLabel = resources.getString(R.string.morePuppies);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
</resources>
