The built-in resource system cannot use language files outside the APK. That doesn't prevent you from rolling your own system, though. Also, bear in mind that string resources are going to be compressed in the APK file, so unless you have some insane number of strings (tens of thousands), or lots of really long strings, I wouldn't expect size of the APK to be a big concern. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
