Replace (or “Override”) String in Android Library Project

Question

I\'ve been trying to make an android library project, and while the build process works fine, I\'ve been running into some trouble with replacing a resource in the project w

Just had this error, here is what happened in my case :

If you are using multiple strings.xml file for different screen sizes in your library, your app might use the library file.

I.E, if you have :

LIBRARY :  
    res/values/strings.xml  
    res/values-sw600dp/strings.xml

and :

APP :
    res/values/strings.xml

And you try to launch your app on a 600dp screen size (i.e a tablet), your app is going to get the strings.xml(sw600dp) from your library.
To avoid this, you might want to create a strings.xml specific to sw600dp resolutions in your app, that contains the same strings values than in your library.
