As a user of Android Studio, I'd like to know where a string in strings.xml is used because I want to remove the strings which aren't in use.

xml is a resource file used to hold name/value pairs of strings.
android:text="@string/hello" /> String string = getString (R. string. hello); You can use either getString(int) or getText(int) to retrieve a string.
It allows you to easily locate text in your app and later have it translated. Strings can be internationalized easily, allowing your application to support multiple languages with a single application package file (APK).
Right click on a string in your strings.xml-> click "Find Usages" to see where it's used.
If it's not used anywhere then a little dialog will pop up in the corner saying so.

Easier way to find unused strings in Strings.xml is to launch an inspection code from top menu of Android Studio (Analyse/Inspect code) on whole project.
In the inspection window, go to "Android Lint/Unused ressources", there you will find all the unused strings.
It will avoid you to make "find Usages" for lot of strings !
