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()
