1. String

Saved at Res/values/strings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? ><resources >    <string name="hello">hello!</string> </resources>

This layout XML applies a string to a View:
<TextView    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout _height="wrap_content"    android:text="@string /hello" />

This application code retrieves a string:

string = GetString (R.string. Hello);

2. String Array

// saved at Res/values/strings.xml<?xml version="1.0 " encoding= " Utf-8"?><resources>    <string-array name="Planets_array  ">        <item>Mercury</item>        <item>Venus</item>        <item >Earth</item>        <item>Mars</item>    </string-array></resources >

This application code retrieves a string array:

Resources res == Res.getstringarray (R.array.planets_array);

3. Formatting and Styling

3.1 Escaping apostrophes and quotes

//Good<stringName="Good_example">"This ' ll work"</string><stringName="good_example_2">this\'ll also work</string>// Bad<stringName="Bad_example">this doesn'T work</string><stringName="bad_example_2">xml Encodings Don&apos;t work</string>

3.2 Formatting strings

<string name="welcome_messages">hello,%1$s! You have%2new messages.</string>

In this example, the format string has the arguments:

　　　　 %1$sis a string and is %2$d a decimal number.

You can format the string with arguments from your application like this:

Resources res == String.Format (res.getstring (R.String. welcome_messages), username, mailcount);

3.3 Styling with HTML markup

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? ><resources >    <string name="welcome">welcome to <b>android</b >!</string></resources>

<b> for Bold text

<i> for Italic text

<u> for underline text

Sometimes want to create a styled text resource, is also used as a format string. Normally, this won ' t work

<1>store your styled text resource as an html-escaped string:

<b>&lt;notation.
<string name="welcome_messages">hello,%1$s! You have &lt;b>%2new messages&lt;/b>.</string>

<2>then format the string as usual, but also call to fromHtml(String) convert the HTML text into styled text:

Resources res == String.Format (res.getstring (R.String= html.fromhtml (text);

<3>particularly. If you'll be passing a string argument to String.format() the May contain characters such as "<" or "& ", then they must

Be escaped before formatting, so if the formatted string is passed through fromHtml(String) , the characters come out the

They were originally written. For example:

escapedusername == = String.Format (res.getstring (R.Stringescapedusername = html.fromhtml (text);
