1,931 PointsCan't solve: Switch to the strings.xml file and add a new String item named 'saveLabel' with the value "Save My Changes"
What I wrote down was: "string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string" as the answer but I can't pass the question. Am I wrong with the answer? Please help...

1,931 PointsI deleted the open tag and closing tag for string from the question. The hint I'm getting is "Bummer! Don't forget to add a 'name' attribute to your "string" element with the value "saveLabel".

Well you are on the right path. However, if this is what you've written then it's incorrect
"string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string"
string is an element and will have its own tag. It does not come inside double quotes.
Just change that and you will get the following as given below.
Hope this helps
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string>
</resources>

It looks as if your not correctly using the <> tag brackets
<string name="saveLabel">Save My Changes</string>
You always need a < and > to define the opening and closing of each element. You use <string> to define the beginning of a string element and </string> to define the closing (the backslash simply denotes a closing bracket).
Hope this helps

1,931 PointsHi Daniel Hi Gunjeet. Thank you all for your answers. The reason I didn't put open tag and closing tag was that if I put them in this comment it was hiding all the stuff inside. I wonder how you manage to write them into this comment. I managed to solve by opening new browser tab and typed them in and it passed. My apology to bring the confusion but thank you all. This is why I can't leave teamtreehouse. Thank you all for nice people here. :D
BTW please let me know how you manage to write open and closing tag in the comment.

14,483 PointsIt makes sense. You can use < and > to get < and > signs

18,106 Pointslol, I did the same thing my answer doesn't make any sense when I read it back.
If you put 3 backticks before your line of code treehouse will apply formatting instead of using the code. Look at the Markdown Cheatsheet link at the bottom of this page.
P.s I have edited my answer although it your problem is solved now.
Thanks Daniel
