So far, we've looked at a basic project and creating Windows and Views. Now, let's look at creating some Labels and Buttons and adding some click events.
Keep the index.xml that you created for the last recipe. Let's modify it a little to add some labels and buttons. Change the code to the following:
<Alloy>
<Window backgroundColor="white" layout="vertical">

<Button id="myButton" borderRadius="2" backgroundColor="#35e" color="#fff" top="10" height="35" width="100">Click me!</Button>
</Window>

Typically, in classic code, we'd use the addEventListener method...
