java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name

Question

This exception keeps on appearing:

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name

this error has been seen on many other webpages on StackOverflow, but reading them all and testing the given suggestions didn't help me

the Activity looks like this:

package net.juntermanns.mitmatmaschrapport;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdListener;

import java.util.ResourceBundle;

import static java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle;

public class DateActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static ResourceBundle resourceBundle = getBundle("net/juntermanns/mitmatmaschrapportapp/src/resbundle.properties");
    final String TAG = ((resourceBundle.getString("dateactivity")));
    TextView textView;

Hi. Thank you for answering. This issue I have already took me 24hours. Do you mind writing a proper path for your suggested asset-folder ? — Andre Juntermanns, Oct 04 '17 at 23:42

For multilingual apps, you can use strings.xml files

So

res/values/strings.xml 
res/values-de/strings.xml

If you require ResourceBundle, you should create an asset folder, and load them via getAssets()

Where do I place the 'assets' folder in Android Studio?

already got this, the ResourceBundle is for non-internationalized strings. No hardcoded strings - this is where the pain started. – Andre Juntermanns Oct 04 '17 at 23:59
Then what's the purpose of the suffixes? de and en? – OneCricketeer Oct 05 '17 at 00:00
differend languages do work within the app, the other kind of strings to be referenced do not.thank you. I am not sure about some strings, they are a couple of hundred, so I made different *.properties files. – Andre Juntermanns Oct 05 '17 at 00:03
Like I posted, assets should work. Just the src folder isn't copied directly into the app, so that resbundle folder does not exist – OneCricketeer Oct 05 '17 at 00:06

more slim and possible solution than using ResourceBundle, thanks! – Andre Juntermanns Oct 05 '17 at 16:01
