28,449 PointsJudging by your code and the lack of a question, I assume you're stuck on task 2. In order to access the string you created in task 1 you need to call getString:
String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
A side note - When you use the "Get Help" button while you're on a certain challenge(doesn't include videos), the website is smart enough to post your code. I fixed that for you. Please make sure to look at this post to see how to post your code properly or use the Markdown Cheatsheet that you can access under every comment you write.
