Android's strings.xml

It is located at res/values/strings.xml


A common place for strings constants. The purpose of this file is to move the string values out of the xml files. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>




    <string name="hello">Hello World</string>

    <string name="app_name">My app name</string>

    <string name="Name">name</string>

    <string name="submit">submit</string>




</resources>

Example 1: manifest.xml

<application

        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >

The @string/app_name is the application name which is coming from the strings.xml

Example 2: main.xml (layouts)

<TextView

        android:id="@+id/textView1"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:text="@string/Name" />

The @string/Name value at this TextView component is coming from the strings.xml
