How to list a string created in my MainActivity.java in my strings.xml file

Question

I have created a string in my main.java file as follows:

String message = "Current Location \nLongitude: "+ location.getLongitude()+"\nLatitude: "+ location.getLatitude();

I want to place this string in my strings.xml file.

This way I can display the value of the string at various places in my application.

I am not sure how to do this.

Any advice?

You cannot add items to your strings.xml (or anything else in the `res` folder) at runtime. If you want to store your string you'll have to do it in SharedPreferences, a Database, or in a File in internal/external storage. — FoamyGuy

You can edit your strings.xml only manually, not proramatically. If this is a dynamic string (and I assume it is), you will have to save it in a static variable for example, but can't write it into strings.xml.
