Chapter 3 Creating the Opening Screen Problem

Hi, Im currently stuck on chapter 3. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out what is wrong, but Im worried that I might screw it up more. Here is a couple of screen shots of what errors I’ve received. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Have you created the Main Menu section in strings.xml? There should be a section like

    <!-- Main Menu -->
    <string name="app_name">Sudoku</string>
    <string name="main_title">Android Sudoku</string>
    <string name="new_game_label">New Game</string>
    <string name="continue_label">Continue</string>
    <string name="about_label">About</string>
    <string name="exit_label">Exit</string>

The last line in the problems view tells me you have a syntax error in your main.xml file. Maybe an unterminated quote or something like that. Check to see if it’s well formed XML, both the one in res/layout/main.xml and res/layout-land/main.xml. They should look like this at the end of chapter 3:
