how to update the strings.xml from the server

Question

Our App supports different languages, some of the translations contain mistakes. The translations on the server are correct.

What is the recommended way to update the strings.xml from the server and how it could be done? Which technologies would be involved?

Answer 1

You cannot update your app's resources without deploying a new APK.

If you want to continue keeping the translations in XML resources, you will need to update them appropriately then deploy a new version of your application.

If you would like those strings to come only from the server in the future, you will need to set up an API service to expose the strings, and consume that API in your app instead of loading the strings from resource files.
