Strings.xml gives a translation error whenever I try to add a new string resource

Question

The following is the only error message when i try to add a new string resource.

NOTE : I'm not doing any localization, there is only default values folder and adding string in strings.xml file only using extract string functionality of the android studio from my xml layout.

"string_name" is translated here but not found in default locale.

Answer 1

In newer Android Studio (v.3) any string named with dot will cause "... is translated here but not found in default locale" error. If your strings.xml has something like this

<string name="aaa.bbb">cccc</string>

you need to change it to

<string name="aaa_bbb">cccc</string>

Answer 2

I did invalidate cache & restart, which solved my issue.

Answer 3

Syncing project with gradle files solved my issue.
