Hey there you have got the first thing right that defining a string in strings.xml file but in the 2nd file where you get that string your code must be :

Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");
