Android Resource For A Specific Product

i got this code from Settings app... About tabletAbout ph

Solution 1:

1. from where at runtime the system load the correct string resource ?

The system does not load this at runtime. The correct string resource is preloaded according to PRODUCT_CHARACTERISTICS defined for a specific target build. So you cannot use this while building from eclipse. This is used only for building apps preloaded on platform.

2 . What must I do to add a new product? e.g.

You need to add to PRODUCT_CHARACTERISTICS in device.mk file

Solution 2:

Answer for your question 1. You can get them via

String mystring = getResources().getString(R.string.mystring);

But your strings.xml should something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources><stringname="tablet" >About tablet</string><stringname="default" >About phone</string></resources>

Answer for your question 2. How will that work, because that is a resource file. If you want you can either create a file and save the information in it. Locally. But it will be only on that device.
