Answer 1

To check string.xml.

It's easy (at least in my version of Eclipse)

In Eclipse for Android (I have version v22.6.2-1085508)

• Right click on the project name in "Package explorer"
• Select "Android Tools".
• Select "Run Lint: Check for common Errors".

Now when you open strings.xml, you will see that unused string are highlighted.

You can fix other potential issues.
