Use string resource in layout resource

Description

Once you've defined the strings as resources, you can set them directly on a view.

Example

The following example shows an example where an HTML string is set as the text content of a TextView.

The following code is for string.xml.

<resources>
    <string name="simple_string">simple string</string>
    <string name="tagged_string">
         Hello <b><i>Slanted Android</i></b>, You are bold.
    </string>
</resources>

The following code is for layout.xml.

<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:gravity="center_horizontal"
          android:text="@string/tagged_string"/>

The TextView automatically realizes that this string is an HTML string and honors its formatting accordingly.
