I'm confused I believe I need a lot of assistance

Can someone help me I need a lot of assistance

Here the task:Now switch back to CodeChallenge.java. Set the buttonLabel variable to the new String resource you just added using the getString(int id) method. Don't forget: the id parameter will begin with R.string.

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

</resources>

Hey Amon,

You are doing really well so far. You typed in morePuppies as a string for your buttonLabel. instead of having "morePuppies", you need to set your String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);.

The way this would look in the code is:

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

I hope this helps you out!
