String formatting via xml in Android

Question

I have string resource like

<string name="my_string">Чек от %1$d до 2000 рублей</string>

and I use this string in the TextView and need to put default values on the view initialization . So, I know, what I can make it with context.getString(R.string.my_string, 100). But, I want to make it in the TextView xml definition.

Is there a way to use string formatting in TextView xml? Something like

android:text="@string/my_string{100}"

100 is a number that replace %1$d in `my_string` – IliaEremin Jul 01 '15 at 13:16 — IliaEremin, Jul 01 '15 at 13:16

You can't put formatting arguments in XML, only in Java code.
