When I run Android Lint check, I always get errors on my strings resource. The error says that I didn't translate my strings to all the languages. Assuming there are no people who know all the languages ​​in the world (if there are I'm not one of them), and that error has a realistic solution. How can I fix this problem? Is there any way to do it automatically (like with Google Translate)? The error is "<the-string-name>" is not translated in af, am, ar, be, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en-rGB, es, es-rUS, et, fa, fi, fr, hi, hr, hu, in, it, iw, ja, ko, lt, lv, ms, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt-rBR, pt-rPT,

I am getting these warnings on logcat every time the app renders some layout. Tried to search about but could not find a clue. I think is something related with resources (drawables, strings or values) but I don't know what is causing this. It's not an error, but is a little annoying.

How can I obtain the string value "cancel" from this resource int: android.R.string.cancel ? thank you Simply use Context#getString() : String string = getString(android.R.string.cancel); I've already tried this approach but with no success... I've a class: public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment { A DialogFragment is not a subclass of Context, so you need to get access to a valid one (like your Activity's). Use this: String string = getActivity().getString(android.R.string.cancel); Or as your discovered you can use the Activity passed in onAttach() , but understand you can do

I'm trying to style buttons to look like those I ask about in Android Full Width ICS style Minimalist Bottom ButtonsViews .

So I have looked around and found out that android.R.styleable is no longer part of the SDK even though it is still documented here . That wouldn't really be an issue if it was clearly documented what the alternative is. For example the AOSP Calendar App is still using the android.R.styleable // Get the dim amount from the theme TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(com.android.internal.R.styleable.Theme); lp.dimAmount = a.getFloat(android.R.styleable.Theme_backgroundDimAmount, 0.5f); a.recycle(); So how would one get the backgroundDimAmount without getting the int[] from android.R.styleable

In my mainactivity I have the following snip MainActivity.class private Button btnx10; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); Button btnx10=(Button)findViewById(R.id.MainCOPbtn); DrawLines(); } private void drawLines(){ float centerYOnImage1=btnx10.getHeight()/2; } I'm trying to access the button that is created in the onCreate() method from the method drawLines() i.e. in the same class MainActivity.class but outside of this method. When I am trying to access the button in the drawlines() method it's value is null. How can I access

I want to get the resource id of the file located in /res/raw folder by filename. I have tried the following 2 methods but both of them return resource id as 0 (zero). Method 1: String filename = "abc.txt"; int id = getResources().getIdentifier(filename, "raw", getPackageName()); Method 2: String filename = "abc.txt"; String fullyQualifiedName = getPackageName() + ":raw/" + filename; int id = getResources().getIdentifier(fullyQualifiedName, null, null); If this is not the correct way, then how do we get the resource id by filename located in raw folder in Android. Drop the extension: String
