How to manage string resources in Android

Question

I have to use many url strings in Android project.

First I stored them as class variable but there are so many strings so I tried to store them as string resources in strings.xml . However it's too hard since url includes a lot of special characters like &, /, % I have to convert them using <![CDATA[]> .

What is the most effiecient way to store those strings in Android?

Answer 1

If they are URLs, there is no point in storing them in strings.xml. Strings.xml is for internationalization and localization and URLs don't need that. So store them in a constants class like you were doing before.
