420 PointsHello can you please help me with this task 2 of 5 in Java
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'.
String[] phoneNumberLabels = { "-home", "-work", "-mobile" };
Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);
String label = getString(R.String.saveLabel);
saveButton.setText("SAVE");

3,088 Pointsyou are probably getting a syntax error, you need to double check your code:
String label = getString(R.string.saveLabel);
you were almost there but you had 'R.String' when it should be 'R.string'
