After years of using Eclipse, I'm making the transition to Android Studio and am still mystified by some of what I see. The latest surprise was when I opened a source file to make an edit and saw that I apparently had hard-coded a string even though I was sure that I hadn't done so. IOW, what I saw was:

    Toast.makeText(mCtx, "Evernote app not found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

However, the text was lightly grayed and highlighted. When I clicked inside the text, the line changed to what I had actually coded, i.e.:

    Toast.makeText(mCtx, R.string.evernote_err, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Which was more like it! Although this feature is certainly very cool in some circumstances, there are other times when I'd prefer to just see what I typed. So what is this feature called? Can I switch it on and off (once I had collapsed the string to the constant, I could not get it to revert until I opened the file again)?
