Good Afternoon, i'm trying hard to set the text to a Button variable but i can't get it. The topic is " Build an interactive Story App " i complete 2 Challenges of 3 but the third is a kind of difficult. I understand how to call the string resources and i code:
buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
and it's ok. but i don't know how to overcome the challenge 3 of 3.
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton); String buttonLabel = " "; loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD"); buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
Awaiting your remarks,
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = " ";
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");
buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>
</resources>

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