Can someone please help me with this Challenge task 3 of 5. Its very simple but for some reason I just can't work it out

Set the text of the Button using the 'label' variable instead of the hard-coded text currently there.

String[] phoneNumberLabels = { "-home", "-work", "-mobile" };

Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);

String label = getString(R.string.saveLabel);

saveButton.setText("SAVE");

Hi Ashley,

all you have to do here is to replace the hard-coded String "SAVE" with the label String that you have declared. So your code should look something like this:

String[] phoneNumberLabels = { "-home", "-work", "-mobile" };

Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);
String label = getString(R.string.saveLabel);

saveButton.setText(label); // Here comes the label :)
