10,586 PointsWhy is this not working... it works in the app and is exactly how the video goes or am I missing something?
tton loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton); String buttonLabel = ""; Resources resources = getResources(); buttonLabel = resources.getString(R.string.morePuppies); loadPuppiesButton.setText(buttonLabel);
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = "";
Resources resources = getResources();
buttonLabel = resources.getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText(buttonLabel);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
</resources>

directly? (without calling getResources()
first)
String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
getString()
is a shortcut for getResources.getString()
here. Maybe this is what they want here.
These challenges tend to only accept a specific solution, even though sometimes others are possible.

Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
Resources resources = getResources();
String buttonLabel = resources.getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText(buttonLabel);
