Accessing Resources using xml in Android

Accessing Resources in xml

Consider the following resource XML res/values/strings.xml file that includes a color resource and a string resource:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? > < resources > < color name="opaque_red" > #f00 < /color > < string name="hello" > Hello! < /string > < /resources >

Now you can use these resources in the following layout file to set the text color and text string as follows:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? > < EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:textColor="@color/opaque_red" android:text="@string/hello" / >

Now if you will go through previous chapter once again where I have explained Hello World! Example, and I ' m sure you will have better understanding on all the concepts explained in this chapter. So I highly recommend to check previous chapter for working example and check how I have used various resources at very basic level.
