In android studio, you can simply press Alt+Enter and it will convert for you.
A string resource provides text strings for your application with optional text styling and formatting. There are three types of resources that can provide your application with strings: String. XML resource that provides a single string.
One of the main benefits is for localization: you keep your code language-independent and just need to provide a different XML file for each language you want to support.
Multiple quantities in one string If your display text has multiple quantities, e. g. %d match(es) found in %d file(s). , split it into three separate resources: %d match(es) ( plurals item) %d file(s) ( plurals item)
The Android string.xml file is just a regular XML file, so you can use the XML escape characters:
" "
' '
< <
> >
& &
Your example would become <string name="name_hint"><Given Name></string>
UPDATE:
Furthermore you can use the HTML entities of each character, a blank space is for example  , and a non-breaking space is  .
Note that I am not entirely sure whether this is officially supported by the XML standards, or that it 'just works'...

Use < for less than symbol and > for greater than symbol.
so here you need to replace like:
<string name="name_hint"><Given Name></string>
