Answer 1

1. For Single Quote (')

You can use \' in your string resources.

or

You can can enclose the string in double quotes. For example:

"This'll work" will simply become This'll work once parsed

2. For double quote (")

"message \"quote string 1\" and \"quote string 2\" end message"

3. To represent in views xml (eg layout.xml), you have to use HTML character entities (like ")

"message "quoted string 1" and "quoted string 2" end message"

Though Android Studio in particular will complain about hardcoded strings and tell you to use a string resource in layout files instead of course!
