    The `%` is a reserved character in XML like `<`, `>`, etc. Please read this question: [Android XML Percent Symbol](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4414389/android-xml-percent-symbol) (Basically use `\%%` for each `%`.) – Sam Sep 26 '12 at 15:58
  • This error appears also when you use %s or %d more than once (as attempted to describe by the error message :) – Buddy Sep 27 '15 at 19:39

instead of 

 Engine % torque (%)

try using 

Engine %% torque (%%)

if you need a % in your strings.xml file

or try checking the link here

or else simply try giving 

 formatted="false"

in your 

<string-array>

tag
