Escaping single quotes in resource xml for Android

Question

I have a file with strings in my ../res/values/strings.xml, which I try to source for my project. This works fine with normal texts. Problem : I have single quotes in my texts and I try to escape them. Many sources suggest to escape it with ' in XML Files.

But this does not work for me in my Eclipse Android Project. When I do a clean project, it shows errors in my Code. (R.class)

<string name="mystring_id">&apos;Hello&apos;</string>

Howto escape properly ?
