Are parameters in strings.xml possible?
android, dynamic, option-type, parameters, string
Solution
Yes, just format your strings in the standard `String.format()` way.
See the method `Context.getString(int, Object...)` and the Android or Java `Formatter` documentation.
In your case, the string definition would be:
<string name="timeFormat">%1$d minutes ago</string>
Problem
I'm going to implement my strings with internationalization in my Android app. I have a problem with the grammar and the way sentences build in different languages. For example: "5 minutes ago" - English "vor 5 Minuten" - German Can I do something like the following in strings.xml? ``` <string name="timeFormat">{0} minutes ago</string> ``` And then some magic like ``` getString(R.id.timeFormat, dynamicTimeValue) ``` This behaviour would solve the other problem with different word orders as well.
