Adding symbols through strings.xml file

Question

I am displaying Activity's Title from strings.xml file like this

setTitle(R.string.add_contact_title);

I have following string in strings.xml

<string name="add_contact_title">Anadir Contacto</string>

but i want to display title like Añadir Contacto instead of Anadir Contacto .

is there any way to do this within the strings.xml file rather than copying and pasting the characters from another source?

Answer 1

You can also use unicode using the \\u\u003c/strong> escape sequence like this:

<string name="add_contact_title">A\u00F1adir Contacto</string>

See here for a list of common unicode latin characters: http://unicode-table.com/en/#latin-extended-b

Answer 2

You can use ñ

You can find all the HTML Special Characters in this page

Special Characters in Android & HTML

just replace the code where you want to put that character. :-)

Answer 3

Yes you can do that. You have to start the special character with &amp ie for your case it will be like ñ

<string name="add_contact_title">A ñ adir Contacto</string>
