Heads up... You've reached locked video content where the transcript will be shown as obfuscated text.

At this stage, you’ve added the hit me button to bull’s eye but when you tap it, nothing happens. That’s not really how a button should work, right? you need to give some feedback to the user. Let’s start by making the button print out a test message when you tap it.

binding.hitMeButton.setOnClickListener({
    Log.i("Button Click Event", "You clicked the Hit Me Button")
})
private fun showResult() {
    val dialogTitle = getString(R.string.result_dialog_title)
    val dialogMessage = getString(R.string.result_dialog_message)

    val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(this)

    builder.setTitle(dialogTitle)
    builder.setMessage(dialogMessage)
    builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.result_dialog_button_text) { dialog, _ ->
        dialog.dismiss()
    }

    builder.create().show()
}
...
showResult()
