How to modify strings.xml file at runtime

Question

I will get localized data dynamically only.

Is there a way to update strings.xml file at runtime in Android? Can we add new string to the file at runtime?

Can we add new string to the file at runtime?

No. You can create a database of translations and maintain that database. Add new translations on the fly to the database and read the values from there.
