Dear Android Developers, I have an application which we are writing to be both a MIDP application using LWUIT as well as an Android application.
We attempt to share as much common code as possible between the two platforms. I'd also really like to be able to share the localization strings when possible. Reading through the docs in: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html it looks like Android uses an XML format to specify name-value pairs, e.g.: {{{ <string name="go_online_message">You are currently offline. Go online? This will use the data network</string> }}} while LWUIT uses the standard Java properties file format: {{{ f.go_online.you_are_currently_offine=You are currently offline. Go online? This will use the data network }}} I understand why the Android XML format has advantages (e.g. ability to add extra formatting info), but I was wondering if it's somehow possible to also read in localization resource strings from a standard Java properties file, so I could use the same string resource file. Looking through the Android code, it seems like support for Properties files is there, but not integrated into the Resources infrastructure, but maybe I missed something. Is it possible to use the Resource framework to read in from Java Properties files as well as the Android- specific XML format string files? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? If not, can I request that it might be nice for the Android Resources framework to also support reading string resource files in in Java properties file format?
