7,786 PointsYou doing toast for task 3? It wants you to use buttonLabel variable you made and use it for the setText instead of that hardcoded value "LOAD".
Toast shows a message on screen for a few seconds.
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = "";
buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);
loadPuppiesButton.setText(buttonLabel);
