What does the templateMergeStrategy property mean in an Android resource?
e.g. in Google Maps API key file
<string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">
AIza.......some...secret...key...
</string>
I would have expected a simple google (or duckduckgo) search to give me results, but unfortunately it only seems to give me Google Maps API questions.
Unfortunately the Android Developer Docs on "String Resources" are also lacking in that department.

From change log
Uses this to overwrite the instructions in the Google Maps template. Subsequent runs of the template always update the instructions with the user's current keystore credentials.
Also changed the Maps instructions to deep link into a Google developer console flow, which allows for easier key generation.

It means Android Studio template engine will preserve this line when a new Google Maps Activity is created, so you don't loose your key.
