I haven't gotten this far in the android track yet just about to finish publishing the fun facts app. I believe all you have to do is remove "SAVE" from the last line and just put the variable label in its place.

String[] phoneNumberLabels = { "-home", "-work", "-mobile" };

Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);

String label = getString(R.string.saveLabel);

saveButton.setText("SAVE");

Yes that was it.Thank you! The initial text of the Button was "Save" and now it's Save My Changes so the request was confusing for me.

You're welcome. It was confusing for me as well, most likely won't be the last time I'll be confused either. Glad I could help you out. Good luck with the rest of the course.

Set the text of the Button using the 'label' variable instead of the hard-coded text currently there. This is the StringTest.java String[] phoneNumberLabels = { "-home", "-work", "-mobile" };

Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton); String label = getString(R.string.saveLabel); saveButton.setText("SAVE");

this is the xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string> </resources>
