How to reference a string from another package in a library using XML in Android?

Question

The Android documentation tells me that I can access a string from another package by using the \"package name\", whatever that means:

@[         


        

Answer 1

Name your resource in your package as com.globalmentor.android.app_applicationlistactivity_lab and not just app_applicationlistactivity_lab.

.... ...
....

Then you can access it from XML as

"@string/com.globalmentor.android.app_applicationlistactivity_lab"

and programmatically by

getResources().getString(R.string.com_globalmentor_android_app_applicationlistactivity_lab);

without conflicts.
