set android:text from strings.xml

Question

I am developing two languages program, so I am trying to set some text from res/values-en/strings.xml but I don't have any idea how to do it

from here

<string name="advices">Advices</string>

to here

<TextView
        android:text="TO HERE <---------"
        android:textColor="#999999"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="12sp" />

Answer 1

You can get text from strings by using @string keyword.

<TextView
        android:text="@string/advices"
        android:textColor="#999999"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="12sp" />

and there is an another way to do this :

->> Right click on the TextView on which you want to set text from strings. Select EditText from the menu or alternatively you can press F2 Function Key

->> Now all strings will be listed which are available in your strings.xml. Select the required string from list.

->> Now you can see your string in your text view.

Answer 2

First of all in your res folder, there will be values named folder in which you will have strings.xml file.In that file you have to put your all English String in it.

And now if you want to use another language like Spanish then make values-es named folder and put all Spanish meaning for English Language..

and set something like this:

<TextView
    android:textColor="#999999"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="@string/string_here"
    android:textSize="12sp" />
