Android String Resource Guide

Many users have asked us recently about converting Special Characters in Android. Please read the Official Android String Resource Guide – you will find a lot of useful information regarding the CORRECT usage of strings. Some characters you need to escape, while others you may need to enclose in quotes (”).

Escaping Strings

This\'ll work
-- OK
"This'll also work"
-- OK
This doesn't work
-- Causes a compile error
This is a \"good string\".
-- OK
This is a "bad string".
-- Quotes are stripped; displays as: This is a bad string.
'This is another "bad string".'
-- Causes a compile error

Dynamic Strings

Your strings in Android convert as is, so you can also use Formatted Strings, eg:

Hello, %1$s!

Export Kit does what you want, you just have to tell it!
