Answer 1

Yes, it is possible without writing any Java/Kotlin code, only XML, by using this small library I created which does so at buildtime: https://github.com/LikeTheSalad/android-string-reference

Usage

Based on your example, you'd have to set your strings like this:

  tbl_name
  create table ${db_table_name}

And then, after building your project, you'll get:

  create table tbl_name
