android:text issues with @string

I purchased a Beginning Android book and started reading and performing the examples. The very first one says to add code like this:

...
...
android:text="This is my first Android Application!" />

My question is, are we no longer using the "@string/..."? I get a warning that I should use it, but when I do it turns into a red X. With the warning, it at leasts tries to run but the emulator crashes. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Steve

You probably want to be using something along the lines of 

android:text="@string/copy_here"

Then in the strings file use

<string name="copy_here">copy here</string>
