can't get string from strings.xml in appcelerator

Question

I'm working on Titanium 2.1 and developing a iOS app and I can't get any of my strings in my strings.xml file. Here's my strings.xml file link

In my code I have the following:

var action = 'created_a_group'; //string at line 24 in strings.xml

var actionLabel= Titanium.UI.createLabel({

    text:Ti.Locale.getString(action), 
    color:"#666666",
    font:{fontSize:12}, 
    left:8

});

but when my label is shown, the correct string isn't shown, instead created_a_group appears. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Do you have the file in the correct folder?

It should be in the i18n folder outside of the Resources folder. It should also be in the appropriate language folder. Though I haven't tried this, are you use that your device is in the correct language setting to pick the appropriate sting.xml file? For example, if you have the string.xml file in the /i18n/en folder, but have it set to a different language on the device, perhaps it can't locate it for that language.
