If i try to do things like this, it doesn't work... (empty string or no resource type error)
<string name="random">?</string>
<string name="random">@</string>
i also tried the html entity variant
<string name="random">?</string>
any ideas how to use the "?" and "@" as string resource in android?

String. xml file contains all the strings which will be used frequently in Android project. String. xml file present in the values folder which is sub folder of res folder in project structure.In Android Studio, we have many Views such as TextView,Button,EditText,CheckBox,RadioButton etc.
xml , you can easily translate your whole app into other languages. This saves you a lot of work instead of doing this the hardcoded way: Android automatically selects the correct language based on user preferences, and you don't have to worry about selecting and displaying this language.
As already mentioned the correct way to have a space in an XML file is by using \u0020 which is the unicode character for a space.
Strings are typically stored in the resource file strings. xml . They are defined using a <string> XML element.
Easiest way is to quote or backslash them:
<string name="random">"?"</string>
<string name="random">\?</string>
