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

In other words...get the string resource and assign it to the buttonLabel using the getString method is given as a hint. You were very close but it wants something simpler. Something like this should work.
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");

Courses Plus Student 5,064 Pointshard-coded is when you put a specific value to the parameter. Ex = String name =( " Shiva"); ( This is hard-coded to your name).

10,300 Pointshere is the challenge Finally, use the buttonLabel variable to set the text for loadPuppiesButton instead of the current hard-coded String.

13,116 PointsThat's quite simple. All it wants you to do is use your buttonLabel variable instead of the hard-coded "LOAD" string. In this way
