don't know what is wrong

String resources can be used throughout an app. In this challenge we want to use a String resource to set the text of a Button. Switch to the strings.xml file and add a new String item named morePuppies with the value "See More Puppies".

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

You do not need the quotes are See More Puppies in the strings.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string> </resources>
