HI,
I am trying to work out a quiz in the Blog Reader Android App tutorial. I have the following question:
"In StringTest.java add a String variable named 'label' before the call to setText(). Use the getString(int id) method to set 'label' to the value you just added in strings.xml. The id will begin with 'R.string'."
I have added the following line in the strings.xml file: "<string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string>"
I have also added these lines of code in the StringTest.java: "Resources resources = getResources(); String label = resources.getStringArray(R.string.label);"
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

1,063 PointsHi Gloria. Thanks for your help, however I have managed to do the challenge. What I was doing wrong was that I was referring to the variable label whereas I should have referred to the variable saveLabel.

13,116 PointsI can't see the first line of code you are referring to. Can you mark it down by adding 3 backticks and "java" in the line before the code and 3 backticks in the line after the code as the cheatsheet says "Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting."
