Avoid Android Lint complains about not-translated string

Question

is it possible to specify that the strings in a file within the value-* directories are purposely not translated into other languages? I have a bunch of strings

Answer 1

Another way to do that is add your string to gradle file, using resValue or buildConfigField. Something like that:

buildTypes {
    debug {
        buildConfigField "string", "app_name1", "App Name"
        resValue "string", "app_name2", "App Name"
    }
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        buildConfigField "string", "app_name1", "App Name"
        resValue "string", "app_name2", "App Name"
    }
}

Usages:

// buildConfigField
BuildConfig.APP_NAME1

// resValue
getString(R.string.app_name2)
