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". can you please kindly assist

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

You need to put this:

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

...in the strings.xml file between the <resources> instead of in the CodeChallenge.java file.
