I keep getting this error. I checked the video several times and I can't find the issue. Any ideas?
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText(getString(R.string.buttonLabel));
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
<string name="buttonLabel">LOAD</string>
</resources>
