Why the following lines of codes wont work?

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

CodeChallenge.java 
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
Resources resources = getResources();
String buttonLabel = resources.getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText(buttonLabel);
strings.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
</resources>
