<resources>
<string name="app_name">UnConv</string>
<string-array name="mainunit">
<item>Area</item>
<item>Pressure</item>
<item>Speed</item>
<item>Volume</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
i want to add some other values to the above items like a subgroup. Example for area i want yard, acre etc how can i achieve that?
Unfortunately, There is no direct way to save two dimensional string-array in Android resource file. I provide 2 methods for replacement.
1. Save the data as Json string showing in the following code:
<string name="mainunit">{"Area":["yard","acre"],"Pressure":[],"Speed":[],"Volume":[]}</string>
Then parse Json String to Java/Kotlin Object.
2. Save subgroup value splitting with ",", and get value by position, but it has drawback because it ignored the key name.
<string-array name="mainunit">
<item>yard,acre</item>
<item>Pressure</item>
<item>Speed</item>
<item>Volume</item>
</string-array>
