String resources can be used throughout an app. In this challenge we want to use a String resource to set the text of a

Hi Ahmed, Sorry I wasn't paying attention to the challenge.

It looks like your strings.xml is incorrect. It should look like this (as per the challenge)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
</resources>

and your calling code should be (as per my last response):

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

Hope this helps Anymore questions... just ask :)

AHHHHH... i tried all the code that was provided here but it seems that its not working...im smashing my face in the keyboard because of the irritation i feel in this code challenge.. even if i put up the correct answer which is provided in this section...it stills displays the error saying Don't forget to add a 'name' attribute to your <string> element with the value "morePuppies" even if i declare the value on the <string name="morePuppies"> See More Puppies </string>

thanks for the question I think you have the wrong student

String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);

not

String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.SeeMorePuppies);

This is why he kept getting the problem incorrect, the OP was typing the error that Jason Thorn overlooked.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string> </resources>

Hi Ahmed

To access string resources you need to use the following:

 getString(R.string.YOUR_STRING_NAME);

So your code should look something like:

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