i must be missing something obvious on the first task

This seems so simple but i'm pouring over these four lines of code looking for something i'm doing wrong and I can't find it.

CodeChallenge.java 
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = getString("");
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");
strings.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="morePuppies">"See More Puppies"</string>

</resources>

Bryan Wiedeman it's fine :). You just need to remove the quotation marks around the "See More Puppies" and turn it into a regular See More Puppies. Also the getString needs to have the String id as its parameter. Only it is not retrieved from the R.id file because those are usually integers. So this should be retrieved from the R.string
