Question

I have a string defined in my String.xml file that uses format arguments, i.e.:

I have assign string for TextView

<TextView android:text="@string/myStr"/>

There is error occurred for assign string value for TextView. How is it do format string for TextView?? Please help me.

Thanks! Nitin

Typically, when one posts "I'm trying to do something but I'm given some error instead", they must post the actual error before anyone can help them. — mah

To allow for all characters in your string, you must mark is as not formatted:

<string name="myStr" formatted="false">Part No.(Part Sr. No.)</string>
