Adding Buttons

Update CrimeFragment’s layout to include new buttons for accusation and tattling: namely, a suspect button and a report button. First, add the strings that these buttons will display.

Listing 15.1  Adding button strings (res/values/strings.xml) 

<resources>

    <string name="new_crime">New Crime</string>
    <string name="crime_suspect_text">Choose Suspect</string>
    <string name="crime_report_text">Send Crime Report</string>
</resources>

In res/layout/fragment_crime.xml, add two button widgets, as shown in Listing 15.2.
